Fulham Palace has secured phase one funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. This is exciting news as we can begin to plan for restoration of the Palace and create a new exhibition Discovering the Bishop of London's Palace at Fulham.
The project will focus on bringing the iconic Tudor Quadrangle and key historic rooms, such as the Great Hall, back to life by conserving the building and dressing the rooms to show how the Bishops of London would have lived and worked here across the centuries. We’ll also enhance the botanical gardens, including re-establishing some of the exotic species that were first introduced to Europe by the botanist and bishop Henry Compton in the late 17th and early 18th century.
