Lyddington Bede House, Medieval bishops residence in Lyddington, United Kingdom
The Grade I listed building features small chambers, carved ceiling cornices, and traditional timber construction methods visible throughout its structure.
The property began as a wing of the Bishops of Lincoln palace in the 12th century before Thomas Cecil converted it into an almshouse in 1600.
The Great Chamber on the first floor displays medieval craftsmanship through its ornate wooden cornices and structural elements assembled without nails.
English Heritage members receive free entry while other visitors should verify opening times and prices before planning their visit to the property.
Letters patent for the foundation of Balliol College at Oxford were signed at Lyddington in 1284, marking a connection to academic history.
