Again there is much renewed stonework here, but the doors which it shelters are probably those provided around and three mediaeval corbels which supported its original roof remain at the corners. The western tower is elegantly proportioned, reaching a height of 71 feet to the battlements and 75 feet to the summit of the south-east staircase turret rebuilt in , which rises above the parapet and is a feature of several towers in south-west Suffolk including Withersfield and Great Bradley.
