Wayneflete Tower, Medieval gatehouse in Esher, England.
The four-story brick tower features mullioned windows, ornate chimneys, and a rectangular layout with decorative stone dressings throughout its exterior walls.
William Wayneflete, Bishop of Winchester, constructed this tower in 1462 as part of his palace complex, which served as a residence for nobility.
Archaeological excavations by Time Team in 2005 uncovered substantial evidence of the palace's layout through geophysical surveys and strategic trench placements.
The structure stands at coordinates 51°22′19″N 0°22′21″W and received Grade I listed status protection on August 14, 1953.
Tree ring dating of the tower's timber components provided precise information about construction phases and subsequent modifications through centuries.
