More about this scene

This magnificent eight- storey gatehouse was built by Sir Henry, 1st Lord Marney, in the 1520s. The rest of the mansion he had planned was never built: Sir Henry died in 1523, and the Marneys were extinct two years later. The Towers, however, are admired for their sheer scale, and for the terracotta ornamentation on their parapets.
