Freston Tower
Heritage Open Day: This Elizabethan six-storey tower overlooks the estuary of the River Orwell. Freston Tower was built in 1578 by an Ipswich merchant called Thomas Gooding to demonstrate his wealth and status. It may also have acted as a lookout tower for Gooding's returning ships and doubled as a banqueting house, or simply as a folly.
Admission on these Open Days is free and leaflets are provided detailing the building's history. For more details view our map for the property or
