The medieval bishop's palace and deer park at Stow Park is a scheduled ancient monument in Lincolnshire representing the substantial residential and recreational holdings of a major ecclesiastical landowner. The site comprises the earthworks and archaeological remains of a bishop's residence, likely dating to the medieval period, alongside associated features of a formally managed deer park that would have served both subsistence and status functions for the episcopal household. The physical remains visible today include ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and park boundaries that testify to the landscape management practices of the medieval clergy. Such episcopal estates were characteristic of the wealth and territorial authority wielded by the bishops of Lincoln, one of England's most powerful medieval sees.
