Durham Tower
Built during the late 13th century, this was a single-storey semi-circular tower with a strong rib-vaulted room. The section of wall, including Durham Tower, is amongst the most complete parts of the Town Wall left today. It is a scheduled ancient monument and Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
