The Bishop’s Palace stands by Peterborough Cathedral, in the centre of Peterborough, Northamptonshire. It was built in the 14th century as the house of the Abbot of Peterborough Abbey, and after the Dissolution of the Monasteries became a home for the Bishop of the new Diocese of Peterborough.
The building today is mainly in the Victorian Gothic style, but retains the work of earlier ages. Its undercrofts are from the 13th century. The Palace is a Grade I listed building.[1]
