What is recorded here

One chamber of the vanished palace still stands, its ragstone walls holding trefoil windows and a private stair that once dropped waste into the river. It is not a complete gatehouse or a public monument; it is the remaining edge of a much larger household world. The missing rooms, courtyard and gates are still implied by the shape of what survived.

The National Heritage List for England records The 'Gatehouse', Palace Gardens, Mill Street 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.

The Gatehouse at Palace Gardens, Mill Street, was built in the late 14th or early 15th century as part of a royal palace complex associated with the Duchy of Lancaster. It is important as a rare surviving example of medieval gatehouse architecture and as evidence of the historical significance of the site in the administration and residence of the medieval English monarchy.
