Summary : Medieval bishops palace and park at Henbury. It was founded soon after the conquest and may have been situated close to the church as there are documentary references to ruined buildings here.
More information : "Soon after the Conquest the bishops of Worcester founded a Palace here (Henbury) and imparked many acres. Thomas Peverell the sixtieth bishop died here in 1418, and Henry Wakefield, his predecessor, issued a Mandate there against Wickliffe in 1387. Some ruinous buildings near the Church seem to mark the site of the Palace, which was their occasional residence". (1)
