Bishop's Palace gate

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Norwich still keeps the gate of Bishop's Palace, a scheduled monument marked on the national heritage list. The designation protects the stones and shape of the gate, but it does not promise entry or explain every choice made inside the palace. That much of the palace has vanished or changed, the gate remains as a edge marker, a reminder that a larger building once stood behind it.
The National Heritage List for England records Bishop's Palace gate as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bishop's Palace gate is part of the historic Bishop's Palace in Lincoln, built during the 12th to 14th centuries by the Bishops of Lincoln. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval ecclesiastical architecture and as a symbol of the bishops' significant political and religious influence in medieval England.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
