More about this scene

The Great Tower, dating from the 15th century, has seen many different tenants, including, briefly, a post office! In 1957 it was taken over by the Claretian Missionaries, and under their care the Catholic church of St Hugh of Lincoln was built in 1959. Nowadays it is a Roman Catholic retreat, and it is also used by many different local groups as a meeting place.
