Monument record TR 15 NE 1365 - Gate/North West Tower, St. Gregory's Priory
Summary
The tower added to the north-west corner of the church, within the area thought originally to have been occupied by a gatehouse, was built to serve two purposes. First it was structural; the north wall of the church required the addition of a large buttress running along its length and the tower provided support for the western end of the same wall. Secondly, the tower enhanced the appearance of the church frontage.
