Overview

History & significance

Hussey Tower is a brick-built tower of sixteenth-century date located in Lincolnshire. The tower survives as a substantial example of domestic military architecture from the Tudor period, constructed in an era when defensive structures remained an important element of gentry residences despite changing patterns of warfare. The building demonstrates the characteristic features of its period, with brick masonry construction typical of East Midlands architecture of the sixteenth century. Hussey Tower represents the continuation of tower-house traditions into the early modern period, reflecting both the practical and symbolic concerns of its original builders within a transitional period of English architectural history.
