Bishop's Manor. This is all that remains of a much larger palace built by the powerful bishops of Durham, who stayed here on their way to London. Prince John spent Christmas here in 1191 and Kings Edward II and Henry V also visited. Most travelled by barge on the River Derwent, an old course of which can still be traced near the site.
