Absolutely fantastic place to go and see rare surviving 13th century wall paintings, and the tower itself. It's tucked away in the middle of houses, so very hard to see and you cant see it from the road, but it's worth the £6 entrance fee. The tour guide was excellent and a fountain of knowledge, very friendly and positive about the tower and history. Only disappointment was not being allowed up to the roof because its unsafe, and also explained that it overlooks many private houses and gardens. Shame but is what it is. There is 2 short flights of external stairs to gain entrance to the tower, which means there is a lower floor, it was explained that its used for storage and there isn't anything to see in there anyway. There is a toilet on site, very tight fit, but serves it's purpose for able bodied, unfortunately it isn't accessible for wheelchair users, and neither is the tower as the stairs are very slim in width and very steep. Parking is adequate on Woburn close, a short 1 minute walk from the tower. There is s small tray of gifts available to purchase, but no refreshments, bring a bottle of water on hot days it would get very warm in the tower itself. Worth a visit, the tour guides make it worthwhile.

A great little tower with stunning medieval wall paintings. It might seem small but allow a good amount of time. We spent an hour there and could have taken longer. The wall paintings are very rare and a fascinating insight into medieval life. The volunteer guides are fantastic and add a great deal of information. Overall, it was a fantastic find and worth seeing.

What a treasure of a find. Has some of the oldest medieval wall paintings in Europe. We were very lucky to have a lady there to welcome us and bring to life the history of the tower and the explanation of the painting on the walls. The way she talked about the art just showed the love and pride of the history of the tower. She just drew us in. Very interesting place and well worth the visit. Hopefully you will also meet this lady who will emerse you with her passion.

Louise, from English Heritage, gave a truly excellent guided tour of this private residence. Centuries of history in the building including right up to the 21st century.

Wonderful experience with tour guide. Tours to be booked in advance through English Heritage as its a private dwelling.

Rare opportunity to see this historic building gradually being restored by owners. Knowledgeable EH guide and lots of history.
