Warkworth Bridge Tower
NU 248-062 Northumberland England

Warkworth Bridge TowerWarkworth Bridge Tower is a rare, late 14th century stone gatehouse, built to fortify the bridge. A round headed gate-passage runs through the square lower storey but sadly the upper storey is ruinous. In the 19th century this fine example of a northern gate tower became the local gaol. Nearby is Warkworth Castle.
