St Michael's Tower, Gloucester

[2] The tower was built in 1465 on the site of the nave of the previous church of St Michael the Archangel.

At one time the ground floor was an open walkway between Eastgate and Southgate Streets.

Eventually it fell into disrepair and was used as storage space by Gloucester City Council.

[1] In 2009, Gloucester City Council granted a lease on the building to the Gloucester Civic Trust and in 2010 the Tower was restored by the trust at a cost of over £300,000, with the help of grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other donors.

[4] In August 2011 a campaign was launched by the Civic Trust to reinstate a bell in the tower.
