'The extensive remains of this lavish country retreat provide a glimpse of the lifestyles enjoyed by the medieval bishops of St Davids, worldly men who enjoyed the privileges of wealth, power and status. The Palace at Lamphey, near Pembroke, is mainly the work of Henry de Gower, Bishop of St David's from 1328 to 1347, who was also largely responsible for the magnificent bishop's palace alongside St David's Cathedral. Lamphey Bishop’s Palace dates from the 13th to 16th centuries when it provided a magnificent retreat, offering everything from fishponds, fruit orchards and vegetable gardens to sweeping parklands.
