Wayneflete Tower
Wayneflete Tower, also known as Waynflete's Tower (51°22′26″N 0°22′36″W / 51.3738°N 0.3768°W) is an historical gatehouse located in Esher, near London. Part of the Palace of Esher established in 1462 by Bishop William Waynflete of Winchester, it was connected to the keep by a curtain wall. Demolition in the 17th century removed furnishings and granite blocks.[1] In the 18th century, the tower was made part of a Gothic mansion house by William Kent for new owner Henry Pelham.
