Hussey Tower

The brick-built remains of a late medieval tower house associated with Sir John Hussey, set close to the historic centre of Boston.

The surviving brick tower is a fragment of a late medieval residence and a reminder that powerful households also shaped Boston’s past. Its association with Sir John Hussey connects local architecture to the wider political world of Tudor England. Though a compact site, the remains reward attention to their setting and to what a single standing structure can suggest about a much larger complex. It makes a useful addition to a heritage walk that also includes the Guildhall and St Botolph’s Church.
