Gateway to Wolsey's College of St Mary

About

Wolsey's Gate, also called Wolsey Gate, is an English gatehouse in Ipswich, Suffolk. It was built in 1528 in the Tudor style, and was intended to be the water gate for an educational college created in the mould of Winchester and Eton colleges. The gateway consists of two short sections of brick wall supporting a pair of turrets, joined by a horizontal lintel, decorated with brickwork in the style of blind arcades. Under the lintel and flanked by niches is a very worn coat of arms in white stone.
