Bishop's Manor is a Norman fortified manor house, founded by Bishop William de
St Carilef. Rebuilt into a large stone palace by the powerful Bishops of Durham,
it had a complex range of buildings, inside an irregular walled courtyard. Of
the medieval palace, only the restored 14th century great banqueting hall, with
its fine two storey battlemented porch and a 15th century brick and stone gateway
remains. 12 miles south-west is Thorne Castle.
Howden Bishop's Manor is located in the town centre, off the Market Place. 20 miles south-east of York, on the A19-A63.
The site is visible from the public footpath, which runs through the site.
There is a car park nearby.
