Northern Towers

Northern Towers is an entrance gate featuring tall, square flanking towers with crenellated and corbelled battlements. The structure is built of limestone rubble with limestone dressings. It has a tall Tudor-arched entrance topped with a corbelled storey above, which includes six tall modern windows with plain glazing. The rear of the gate is modern shingle-hung. The towers have modern glazing in the Tudor-arched upper windows facing north. The right tower has been extended westwards in the later 19th century and includes two Rickman windows at the rear. At the front, there are short stretches of link wall that end in turrets with corbelled upper sections. The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey in May 1997.
