Pykenham Gatehouse

The Pykenham gatehouse was built in about 1471 for William Pykenham, Archdeacon of Suffolk, as the entrance to his residence, it was then restored by the Ipswich Building Preservation Trust. The Ipswich Building Preservation Trust carried out a major restoration project in 1982-3. The 15th Century timber framing the gatehouse was restored in addition to the original staircase being discovered during this work. The trust now uses the premises for its headquarters as does the local civic society.
