What is recorded here

Bishop's Palace stands in Teignbridge as a scheduled monument, though no public gate or visible hall is certain. The name suggests a bishop once lived there, possibly directing a bridge, collecting taxes or commanding a valley. Stone, memory and authority may have occupied the same ground before human records appeared.

The National Heritage List for England records Bishop's Palace 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 was built in the 13th century as the residence of the Bishop of Durham. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval episcopal architecture and as a symbol of the religious and administrative power of the bishops in the region.
