Bishops House

Bishops House

This is again a property built by Stokes in 1901 for use as a Hunting Lodge. It was built on the site of a thatched farm house. In 1918 the house was occupied by the Bishop of Peterborough, whilst his palace was being used as a military hospital after the Great War . Since his occupation it has been known as Bishops House. In 1920 Lady Jersey lived here and decorated the interior all in white, contrary to the fashion of the time.
