Description
The Bishop’s Palace retains portions dating back to the 13th century, with the initial structure serving as the Great Hall. A lower section of the entrance tower and a notable internal arch from this period remain. There is also a 13th-century chapel, which was restored by William Butterfield. A late 15th-century mantelpiece, known as the "Courtenay" mantelpiece, is present, although it has been relocated. Significant demolitions and alterations occurred over time, culminating in a near total rebuilding between 1846 and 1848, undertaken by Ewan Christian. The palace is constructed of Heavitree stone. It is three storeys high, featuring mullioned windows, and has a slate roof. An early 16th-century oriel window, originally from a demolished house in the city, has been incorporated into the building. The listed buildings along Palace Gate form a group.
