The Bishop's Palace at Wells

Original finished work will be permanently displayed at The Bishop's Palace in Wells

Once described as "The most memorable of all Bishop's Palaces in England" by the architectural historian Pevsner, the Palace developed around the medieval residence of Bishop Jocelin Trotman (1206), the first Bishop to hold the title of Bath and Wells.

Granted land by King John, to the south of Wells Cathedral and Saint Andrew's stream (The Moat), Bishop Jocelin built a residence in order to have an important supply of fresh meat - a deer park.
