Title: Bishops Waltham Palace [Go to resource]
Description: Bishop Henry de Blois built the first Palace in 1135, but the ruins that survive today are mostly remains of later buildings erected by William of Wykeham and Bishop Langton in the fifteenth century. The palace was used in medieval times as a hunting Lodge for the Bishops of Winchester. The Palace and its owners attracted settlers to its gates and a small prosperous market town (Bishops Waltham) grew up around it in the Middle Ages. However during the Civil War of the 17th century much of the Palace was destroyed. Reference: 1. Hampshire County Council. Hampshire Treasures Survey, vol.1.
