Other People at Farnham Castle
There have been fifty-five Bishops of Winchester since the Norman Conquest. While the record is not always clear, some connection with Farnham Castle can be made for most of these men.

But thousands of other people, from monarchs to gardener’s boys, have also passed through the Castle gates. Sometimes all we have is a name or a profession, recorded in the Winchester Pipe Rolls or other archive. The majority are unknown and unknowable with no record left.
