ANCIENT BUILDINGS IN THE CITY.

Amongst other interesting architectural monuments, closely connected with the cathedral or the bishops, the following may be particularly noticed: 

The #Bishop’s Palace# has an interesting chapel, in which a small fresco of the “Virgin and Child” of an early date is still preserved.  The dining-room has a panelled wooden ceiling.  The painting on it was originally executed in Sherborne’s day, but it has suffered by decay and attempts at restoration since the sixteenth century.

The #Vicars’ Hall# is to the south-east of the cathedral.

The #Canon Gate# is the archway in South Street, which leads to the palace, the deanery, and other buildings connected with the cathedral.

The #Market Cross# was built by Bishop Storey about the year 1500 (see illustration, p. 100).

#S.  Mary’s Hospital# was founded about the middle of the twelfth century; but the existing building dates from the end of the thirteenth century.  It maintains five aged women by a weekly allowance to each, with fuel and medical attendance free.
