Bondgate Tower is a medieval gatehouse forming part of the town defences of Alnwick in Northumberland. Dating to the fourteenth century, it represents a significant example of urban military architecture from the medieval period. The tower formerly controlled access to the town through the Bondgate, one of the principal entry points into Alnwick's walled precinct. Though substantially altered and reduced in height during later periods, it remains an important surviving element of Alnwick's medieval fortification system.
