York
Yorkshire
Situated a few yards to the North of the mighty York Minster, the Bishop’s palace, a beautiful almost secret building, sits screened by trees.
There are two major parts to this site….the first, is a late 12th century arcade, known as Archbishop Roger’s Arcade , repaired and consolidated in 1987 and now turned into a war memorial.
This is a beautiful piece of architecture, consisting of seven arches two of which are supported by pillars. It was built for Archbishop Roger de Pont l'Eveque.


The arcade and the chapel can both be viewed from the parks surrounding the Minster.
