- Watchman's Tower: Gatehouse
Description:
- Back in the eleventh century, Brian of Brittany built the Tower and its gate to protect St Brandan's Abbey - as Hush House was then known. Later, the Barons Dewulf strengthened the gate against their many enemies. But it's a long time now since Hush House was any kind of fortress... and by the time the scholars of the Curia took possession, this place had long been a comfortable waiting room for visitors to the House too minor to merit immediate attention.

- The walls of the House tower above me. I had been told that it was abandoned after a fire - but there is no sign of any such thing. The building will no doubt need restoration, but it's in better shape than I'd feared. 'BOOKS ARE THE MEMORY THAT DOES NOT DIE', reads the inscription above the gate.
