Placeholder for Swanswell Gate black plaque

Swanswell Gate Completed circa 1440 as part of the fortified town wall, remains of which stand in the adjoining gardens. Originally named Priory Gate it gave access to the Prior's lands outside the wall. Including Swanswell Fishpool. The archways were blocked, windows inserted and the roof raised when it was converted into a house and gardens were presented to the city and wall remains are now Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
