Bishopthorpe Palace

In 1226, Archbishop Walter de Gray bought the manor house at what was then St. Andrewthorpe and gave it to the Dean and Chapter of York Minster.

The tower was demolished in 1946 but some foundations are still visible in garden of Iona Lodge.

[3] The palace is a Grade I listed building in a wooded, rural setting and includes a gatehouse, stables, a brewhouse and brewster's cottage.

[4] Archbishop John Sentamu did not initially move into the palace, as it was just beginning a major renovation and restoration at the time.
