Winchester Palace, Medieval palace ruins in Southwark, England
The remaining stone walls of Winchester Palace display a grand rose window and three entrance doors from its original 12th-century great hall structure.
Bishop Henry of Blois commissioned this residence in 1136 near the Thames River to handle administrative duties during frequent London visits.
The palace hosted the 1424 wedding celebration of King James I of Scotland and Joan Beaufort in its decorated upper hall.

The palace cellar connected directly to a riverside dock for goods delivery, featuring two naves covered by stone vaults.
