About Fulham Palace
Fulham Palace is a museum and former bishop's palace. It lies on the north bank of the River Thames in Fulham, London, previously in the former English county of Middlesex. It is the site of the Manor of Fulham dating back to Saxon times and was in the continuous possession of the bishops of London as lords of the manor from the 8th to 20th centuries. The much reduced estate comprises a Grade I listed complex with medieval origins. It was the principal residence of the Bishop of London from the 11th century until 1973. The palace remains owned by the Church of England, and is managed by the Fulham Palace Trust. It houses a number of restored historic rooms and a museum documenting its long history. The property abuts Bishops Park, once part of the estate, and contains a large botanical garden, ranked Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
