Geocache Description:


The original bishop’s palace is now part of Norwich school but close to this location is the Bishop’s residence which is private. The beautiful gardens are open during the summer to help local charities. A flint, brick and stone former Bishop's Palace until 1958, now a school, dating from the 11th century onwards but subject to a major restoration from 1858 to 9. It is three and four storeys high over 11th century barrel vaulting and forms a large L-shaped plan to the north of the cathedral, to which it was once connected. At the end away from the cathedral there is a small early 12th century fortified keep. The palace was used as a hospital in World War One and in World War Two, air raid shelters were dug under what is now the school playground.

This cache was originally placed by Pilgrims Path but adopted by WildWoodies on 26/12/2022.
