Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Wayneflete's Tower Wayneflete's Tower was originally an 11th century manor house, the manor (farm) of which was on the east and south bank of the Mole. In 1462, William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, founded his secondary palace here at Esher to supplement Farnham Castle and incorporated the medieval stone fortified manor house. The four storey gatehouse, with semi-octagonal turrets to the fore, was linked by a high curtain wall to a huge brick keep, which had octagonal turrets on the angles. Sadly in 17th century, the keep, the great hall, the curtain wall and associated building ranges were all demolished, down to the foundations. In the 18th century, Henry Pelham added a pair of wings and a porch, when integrating the tower into a Gothic mansion house. |
