The Bishop's Palace by quietpurplehaze

The Bishop's Palace

Straight ahead is the Great Hall (or what remains of it) with large windows. I tried to find out if these would have had glass in them but Google only pointed me in the direction of stained glass. When the museum here is open (weekends) I'll see if that tells me.

To the left of the Great Hall is the West Tower where the Bishop had his private quarters.

Great photo ops here but I still like the photo ops next door on the South Pond where 'my' goose lives!
Super capture -- love the stone work for all its textures and tones and the light and shades creating interest !

I could well see myself sitting on the wall contemplating the past & present beauty of the Bishop's Palace. Lovely shot

That must have held many a ball in its time, it still has a regal air about it.
Yesterdays chocolate cake would not look out of place being served here during afternoon tea
