Although isolated fragments of Stamford's 13th-century town walls can still be found around the town, often incorporated into later buildings, St Peter's Gate bastion or angle tower is the only recognisable structure which survives today. St Peter's Gate (demolished in 1770) stood a few yards further down the hill, near the end of Rutland Terrace.
