What is recorded here
Lyddington Bedehouse in Rutland is a scheduled monument preserving a medieval bishop's palace and a post-medieval almshouse. The site still shows a moat, gardens, fishponds and cultivation remains. Those boundaries suggest a place where religious authority, poor relief and everyday food production all overlapped.
The National Heritage List for England records Lyddington Bedehouse: a medieval bishop's palace and post-medieval almshouse with moat, gardens, fishponds and cultivation remains 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.
Built as a medieval bishop's palace and later converted into a post-medieval almshouse, Lyddington Bedehouse is important for its well-preserved complex of domestic and religious architecture, including a moat and fishponds, reflecting social and ecclesiastical life in the region.
