Contained within the Palace lies a twelfth century chapel that has remained in use, and mostly unaltered, over the last 800 years. The substantial repairs afforded the Palace over the centuries has clouded the exact date of its creation, but it is known that the Palace was rebuilt by Bishop Seffrid following the fire that devastated the Cathedral and the town in 1187.  

The tour will commence at 10.00am and participants should foregather outside the West Door of the Cathedral. Tickets, at £12, include a donation to the Palace.  

Tickets are available via the link above or from the Friends Office on Tuesday or Friday mornings (01243 812980)
