Bishop's Waltham
Bishop's Waltham is a medieval market town in Hampshire, England. It is home to the ruins of Bishop's Waltham Palace. The Palace was partially destroyed on the orders of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. Much of it however remains and is open to the public. This walk around the town also includes the Palace, and St Peter's Church.
Bishop's Waltham Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Hampshire, and around 10 miles southeast of Winchester, is the town of Bishop's Waltham.
The known history of Bishop's Waltham dates back to circa 640 AD, when a church is recorded to have been built here. In 904 AD, King Edward the Elder granted the land to Denewulf, Bishop of Winchester, in exchange for land in Portchester, thus accounting for the 'Bishop's' prefix, while 'Waltham' in Old English means 'wooded/foresty homestead'.
During the 1130s, Bishop Henri de Blois, brother of King Stephen, founded a palace here which became a key residence for the Bishops of Winchester, hosting many royal visitors, such as Henry II, Richard I, Henry V and Henry VIII. The palace was expanded over the centuries that followed - particularly in the 14th century under the supervision of William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, helping it to become one of the grandest bishop's residences in England. However, in 1644 it was severely damaged by Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, and later slighted the following year under orders from Oliver Cromwell. After the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, ownership was returned to the bishops despite its ruinous state.
At the northern end of the town centre is the Church of St Peter. This is of a similar age to Bishop's Waltham Palace, having also been founded by Henri de Blois in the 12th century. The church of today, however, is predominantly composed of 16th-17th century elements, along with some 19th century restoration.
In 1863 a railway station opened in Bishop's Waltham. This was the northeastern terminus of a branch line linking to Botley on the Eastleigh–Fareham Line. The station, along with the branch line, closed to passengers in 1933, and to goods in 1962. Today, public transport to Bishop's Waltham consists of direct buses from Winchester, Fareham and various other nearby settlements.
Famous people from Bishop's Waltham include Amanda Holden (though born in Portsmouth).
