St John's Abbey Gatehouse
Heritage Open Day: Early 15th-century gatehouse, with flint flushwork, a vaulted roof and battlements flanked by pinnacled corner turrets. A narrow winding staircase leads up to the main room. The Gatehouse is the only building to survive from the Benedictine St John's Abbey completed over 900 years ago in 1115. Badly damaged during the 1648 Siege of Colchester, it was extensively restored in the 19th century. There are historical associations with Richard III and Catherine of Aragon.
