Bishop's Waltham Palace is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of the ruins of a medieval episcopal residence and its associated landscape features located in Hampshire. The palace was constructed in the twelfth century by the Bishops of Winchester and served as an important administrative and residential seat for the Winchester bishopric throughout the medieval period. The site retains substantial remains of stone structures, including parts of the hall and domestic ranges, along with the earthworks of fishponds which formed an integral part of the episcopal estate's resource management system. The palace was damaged during the English Civil War and subsequently fell into disuse, leaving the ruins and landscape features visible today as evidence of medieval aristocratic life and ecclesiastical authority.
