Shuttered Arched Window belonging to lapidarium in Tower Gate House of St. David's Cathedral.


Shuttered Arched Window belonging to lapidarium in Tower Gate House of St. David's Cathedral. The 15-foot high Close Wall, built in the 14th century enclosed the original cathedral city. The wall was pierced by four gatehouses. The Tower Gatehouse, is the only survivor and was used by the medieval town council. Also housed in the Tower Gate House is the lapidarium (where there is a display of religious stones) and below is the bishop’s dungeon. Next to the gatehouse stands the 13th century Bell Tower which now has a Royal ring of ten bells.
