The Bishop of Winchester's House was in Southwark, in what was called ' The Liberty of the Clink, ' being a little to the west of the Church of St. Mary Overie. It is prominent in the foreground of most of the views of London taken from t...he south side a building of some size and Gothic in character. Until the Civil War the Bishops lived there, but afterwards had a house at Chelsea. Pennant says that the founder was unknown, but Stow has it that it dated originally from Norman times, being built by William Gifford, Bishop of Winchester about 1107, ' upon a plot of ground pertaining to the Prior of Bermond- sey, ' who, it seems, in 1366 sued the Bishop in the Court of Exchequer for 8 due for ' lodgings in Southwark.
