Curfew Tower is a medieval stone structure located in Gloucestershire, dating to the late medieval period. The tower served a civic function within its settlement, as suggested by its name, which indicates its role in regulating town life through the ringing of a curfew bell. Constructed of stone masonry typical of medieval fortified or administrative buildings, the structure reflects the architectural practices of its era. The monument survives as evidence of medieval urban organisation and the practical mechanisms by which towns enforced order and timekeeping among their populations.
