Constructed in the late 12th century, the medieval bishops’ palace was once one of the most important buildings in England. As the administrative centre of the largest diocese in the country, its architecture reflected the enormous power and wealth of the bishops as princes of the church. Built by St Hugh before 1200, The chapel range and entrance tower were built by Bishop William Alnwick, who modernised the palace in the 1430s.
