Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
The rose window of a bishop's great hall, standing alone among the Bankside warehouses.
MedievalRuinsFree
The Bishops of Winchester kept their London palace here from around 1109 until the 1620s, a walled compound with its own prison, which is where the word clink comes from, and its own licensed brothels on the river. What stands is the west gable of the great hall, built in the 1130s and remodelled around 1320, with the fourteenth-century rose window in it: a wheel of tracery high over Clink Street with three doors beneath that led to the buttery, pantry and kitchen. It was found when a warehouse burnt down in 1814 and freed from the buildings around it in the 1980s.
