Monument record TR 15 NE 1347 - Queningate/City Wall, Christchurch Priory
Summary
By the summer of 1492 Christ Church Priory owned all the city walls between Burgate and Northgate. Thomas Chillenden (Prior 1391-1411) organised repair of the walls between Northgate and Queningate. Four square towers were added at that time, and two round bastions were probably added during Prior Selling's work on the defences in the 1480's.
