Bishop's Waltham Palace and Museum
Come for guided tours of the fascinating buildings of Bishop's Waltham Palace, started in the 12th century by the Bishop of Winchester. The Palace was so grand all the Tudor Monarchs stayed there. There are three different tours available: Tour 1: The Building Bishops. General tour of the Palace ruins that English Heritage have recently conserved, including the new platform in the West Tower (1 to 1.5 hours). Tour 2: Courtiers and Crown Posts. An in-depth tour of the Bishop's Waltham Museum building, part of the original lodgings of the Palace, with its original crown-post roof from c. 1440, later converted into a farmhouse (1 hour). Tour 3: Turret tour. The north turret on the Palace perimeter wall is not normally open to the public, but it is worth a look to see many unusual features. It is only one room but is 5 minutes walk away (45 mins). Timings & Tours Friday 12 September: 6pm- Tour 3: Tour of the North Turret Saturday 13 September: 11am Tour- 1: The Building Bishops.
