North-west view of the ruins of Winchester Palace, Southwark, London, c1900 (1906). Winchester Palace was a 12th century palace which served as the London townhouse of the Bishops of Winchester. It is believed that the great hall was built in about 1136. The hall was enlarged and the rose window built in the 14th century, possibly by Bishop William of Wykeham (Bishop from 1367 to 1398). Royal visitors were entertained at the palace, including King James I of Scotland (1394-1437) on his wedding to Joan Beaufort (c1428-1486) in 1424.
