The Bishop's Manor House (sometimes referred to as a Bishop's Palace) sits in the shadow of the remains of Howden Minster. The manor was built in the11th Century by Bishop William de St Carilef to provide a residence and administrative centre for the powerful Prince Bishops of Durham, who stayed here on their way between Durham and London. There was a complex range of buildings, inside an irregular walled courtyard. In the late 14th century, Bishop Skirlaw replaced an earlier aisled hall with the single storey great hall which is entered through a two storey, vaulted porch. The majority of the buildings were demolished in the late 16th century but part of the courtyard wall, the great hall, the 15th century brick and stone Cardinal Langley's southern gateway and two further medieval buildings survive. The hall was floored in the late 16th century, with further alterations in the 18th and early 19th century.
At least three kings are known to have visited the manor; King John spent the Christmas of 1211 here, and Kings Edward II and Henry V also stayed here. All that remains of the manor is the great hall.
