Cuddesdon Palace

Religious and Sacred Buildings

Cuddesdon Palace was the residence of the Bishop of Oxford near the village of Cuddesdon in Oxfordshire, England. A palace on the site was completed by 1634 for Bishop John Bancroft, burned by Royalist forces in 1644 during the English Civil War, and was rebuilt in 1679 under Bishop John Fell. A chapel dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul was added in 1846, designed by Benjamin Ferrey in the Gothic Revival style. The palace remained the bishop residence until 1937 and burned down in the 1960s, though Ferrey chapel survives in the grounds of its replacement building.

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
