Westbury College Gatehouse, Gloucestershire

Westbury College Gatehouse is a 15th-century gatehouse to the former Westbury College, located in Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucestershire. Westbury College was a residence for the dean and canons of Holy Trinity Church. Between 1459 and 1469, the college building was fortified with towers, turrets and battlements surrounding a quadrangle, onto which the gatehouse opened. After the Dissolution, the college became a private dwelling. The gatehouse, two round towers and the retaining wall alongside the River Trym are the only survivals. The College Gatehouse was acquired in 1907 by the National Trust. It is within the council area of Bristol.
