TL 856-642 Suffolk England
St
James Tower is a magnificent Norman stone great gatehouse and was designed to
be the gateway for the Abbey Church and it is still the belfry for the Church
of St James. This 12th century four storey gate-hall is virtually unchanged and
is entered through a single archway. Just to the north is Bury
St Edmunds Abbey Great Gate.
St James Tower is located in the city centre, off Angel Hill. 28 miles east of Cambridge, on the A14.
The site is managed by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and is freely accessible in daylight hours.
There are car parks nearby.
