Wolvesey Castle or Old Bishop's Palace was the residence of the wealthy and powerful Bishops of Winchester from Anglo-Saxon times. It is situated adjacent to Winchester Cathedral. Substantial ruins remain of the palace date largely from the 12th-century work of Bishop Henry of Blois. The last great event to be held here was on 25 July 1554, when Queen Mary and Philip of Spain held their wedding breakfast in the East Hall.
