Ruined Building
In 1805 granted a lease to the trustees of the newly established Fever Hospital (House of Recovery) of part of the Warden's Close, with permission to build the hospital there and to take down part of the town wall in order to provide them with access into the south end of their precinct. In the event they made quite a modest break through the wall, and this survives, with some alteration, on the north side of Heber Tower. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT
