Traditionally, every Anglican diocese had a bishop's palace. Many bishops in newer dioceses have a more modest bishop's house. In the older dioceses, most of the bishops' palaces are used for administration and only a small part is used as a residence.

What criteria allowed bishops to become powerful what were their areas of authority and related duties?

Bishops took the place of Roman magistrates in the structure of the Church. Church government was a theocracy, and good Christians used Church law as administered by bishops to settle disputes, make rulings about kinship relations, inheritance, and even criminal offenses. The Bishops followed Roman law where it was applicable. When the barbarians destroyed the Roman administration in the cities and countrysides, Bishops were the de facto available authorities. They became the new magistrates. They had political duties as well, and became allies of the king or duke. Bishops themselves were usually lords.
