towers
(Formerly Listed as:
ABBEY ROW
(North side)
Town wall and 2 towers attached to

GV II
Town wall with 2 towers. Probably C17. Coursed limestone
rubble, including some reused medieval masonry and ashlar to
upper section of one tower.
Section of approx 30m of former curtain wall including a
rectangular tower on W side, and hollow canted tower to E
partially rebuilt in dry stone work.
HISTORICAL NOTE: traditionally thought to have been the town
wall built by Roger of Salisbury, c1136-9, but the masonry is
now not considered to be substantial enough in date to be
medieval. Site of sally port ramp from the castle,
incorporated into the town defences after 1246. The walling is
most probably part of the Civil War defences, the towers being
part of the hornwork.
