St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.

Bishop’s Palace Bishop’s Palace

Location:

Bishop’s Palace was located on the north-west side of St. Paul’s Church. It was bordered on the north by Paternoster Row and on the west by Ave Maria Lane (Harben). Agas coordinates are based on coordinates provided by Harben and supplemented by Stow.

According to Stow, the palace was a large thing for receipt, wherein diuers kinges have been lodged, and great housholde hath been kept (Stow 2:20). One of these diverse Kings was Henry VII, who in the seauenteenth of his rainge stayed at Bishop’s Palace with Queen Elizabeth (Stow 1:67). Clergyman and historian Peter Heylyn writes that in 1551 the Queen Regent of Scotland travelled through London, stopping at Bishop’s Palace (Heylyn sig. Q1r). Upon arriving, she was presented with Mutton, Beefs, Veals, Poultry, Wine, and all other ſorts of Proviſions, neceſſary for Her Entertainment (Heylyn sig. Q1r).

Few literary texts reference Bishop’s Palace. Sugden lists two references: In True Tragedy the messenger informs Q. that her son remains at Lond. in the B.P.. Milton, in Areopagitica, pours scorn on a lordly Imprimatur from the W. end of Pauls. (Sugden 62).

Bishop’s Palace no longer exists in modern London.
