Archbishops Palace, Southwell by karendore

Archbishops Palace, Southwell

The former Archbishop's Palace of York stands next to Southwell Minster, neighbouring the Bishop's official residence. Dating back to the 14th century, the Palace suffered significant damage during the Civil War, with the ruined section visible from the Palace Gardens. The Great Hall, which survived, was restored in the Edwardian era and retains its original dimensions and medieval beams, notably in the vaulted ceiling of the State Chamber.

Notably, the Palace was home to Cardinal Wolsey, who held his final, troubled meetings in the State Chamber in 1530, trying to resolve his failure to secure a divorce for Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon. Additionally, it is believed that Charles I met his advisers here, and following his capture in Southwell, his arrest was formalised in the same room. The Palace also became his first site of imprisonment.

The churchyard also features beautifully maintained greenery, including ancient trees that add to the serene and timeless atmosphere. It’s a place for quiet reflection, perfect for photography enthusiasts or those exploring Southwell’s rich heritage.
