The Bishops Palace and Gardens
Wells
The Bishop's Palace in Wells dates from the early-thirteenth century when Bishop Jocelin Trotman, the first Bishop to hold the title Bishop of Bath and Wells, received a crown licence to build a residence and deer park on land to the south of the Cathedral of St Andrew. Visitors entering through the central porch step back almost 800 years into Bishop Jocelin's vaulted Entrance Hall. The gardens at the Bishop's Palace are a haven of tranquillity and peace. Visitors are free to wander over the lawns past flower-beds, specimen trees and shrubs.The Chapel is used by the Bishop and others for regular acts of worship and prayer. Visitors are welcome to take time for reflection here, and candles mark the prayers of pilgrims and other guests to this sacred place.
