Alnwick town walls
Alnwick's town walls are a 15th-century defensive structure built around the town of Alnwick in England.
==History==
Alnwick's town walls were built in the 15th century following a period of considerable border instability and raiding that had caused significant damage to Alnwick's economy.〔Pettifer, p.172; Creighton and Higham, p.87.〕 Henry VI permitted the town to charge murage on selected imports to Alnwick in 1434 and, using these taxes, protective walls with four gates were built in stone over a period of around fifty years.〔Pettifer, p.172; Creighton and Higham, p.269.〕 The local Percy family controlled the neighbouring Alnwick Castle and the Bondgate Tower was decorated with their lion crest - an unusual feature for town gates of this period which normally celebrated civic, rather than local noble, identities.〔Creighton and Higham, p.141.〕
Today the remaining parts of the walls, including the 15th century Bondgate Tower and the 18th century Pottergate, are a scheduled monument and a grade I listed building.〔Pettifer, p.172; ''(Alnwick Town Wall )'', Gatehouse website, accessed 11 October 2011.〕
