Northwest Tower :: Shared Description
Attaining a height of 9.2m the tower, one of 16 originals, is reckoned to date from around 1344 and once formed part of the town's Medieval walls. The wall complex is one of the earliest examples of brick usage in East Anglia that can be dated with considerable certainty. The work on the walls, originally sanctioned by King Henry III, continued between 1285 and about 1400. The tower was restored in the 1960s and then in 1987 it was very substantially repaired and altered. The old roof was entirely replaced by craftsmen of H.Moore and son.
