Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Watch tower on Town Walls This is the last remaining mediaeval watch tower set along the town walls to guard against attacks by the Welsh from across the river which it overlooks. It was the Normans who provided the first defensive wall for the town in the early 12th, the walls were strengthened subsequently and the towers probably erected in the early C14th.
The Welsh name for Shrewsbury is Amwythig meaning "fortified place". The tower is in the ownership of the National Trust and privately rented. |
