Title
Angel Hill, Bury St Edmunds, Abbey Gate
Date:
pre 1913
Caption:
The Abbey Gate, the entrance to the Great Court and Abbot's Palace, was built c1340, in the Decorated style, after the original Norman gateway was destroyed during a riot in 1327. The new gateway was built further to the right (south) so it was no longer at the foot of Abbeygate Street. It was also designed to be defended, with arrow slits behind the statues, an outer portcullis and gates, inner doors and a guard-room on the upper floor. The damaged corners of the battlements show that the image was taken before the restoration of 1913-14.
