    The Bishop’s Palace, Waterford 'The Mall is a beautiful walk, about 200 yards long… facing it stands the Bishop’s Palace, which not only adds a considerable beauty ... the Palace is a fine building of hewn stone, with two fronts, that next to the Mall is beautifully ornamented with a handsome portico.' (Charles Smith’s History, 1746) This exquisite architectural jewel, now a museum, continues to delight over 250 years later, the ground and first floors furnished as a very elegant 18th century townhouse. www.waterfordtreasures.com/bishops-palace

    Still standing, but where was the spire (as the actress said to the Bishop!) In 2008 via Eamonn Bolger (Ireland)
  • beachcomber australia said:
    [Aside] I recently found out what the actress might originally have said to the Bishop ... The Bishop of Worcester and Lillie Langtry, the actress, were at one of those country house weekend parties. On Sunday morning, before church, the bishop and the actress went for a stroll in the garden. The bishop cut his finger on the thorn of a rose. Over lunch, Miss Langtry asked the Bishop, "How is your prick?" He replied, "Throbbing," And the butler dropped the potatoes.

    Droneview! This aspect at about 2:45. Amazed at the roof shapes, presumably to maintain classical proportion, but they would have collected a lot of water and caused damp. youtu.be/92JM9HyBZ3A (December 2021)
