MenuSt Leonard's Tower, Kent
St Leonard's Tower is an early Norman Tower Keep near West Malling, Kent. It is thought by some to have been built by Gundulf Bishop of Rochester (1077-1108) as his fortified residence or castle. Others consider it built by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. Some historians have considered it to be the west tower of a chapel (St Leonard's Chapel), other parts of which may survive as mediæval walling incorporated within a later post-mediæval garden boundary wall. It is in the care of English Heritage. It is within the council area of Tonbridge and Malling (Kent).
