Monument record TR 15 NE 1648 - Medieval City Wall between Queningate and Northgate
Summary
Thomas Chillenden, Prior 1391-1411, organised the repair of the walls between Northgate and Queningate. Four square towers were erected at that time and all survive today. By the summer of 1492 Christ Church Priory owned all of the City walls between Burgate and Northgate. More bastions were added during Prior Sellings work on the defences in the 1480's.
