Illustration by Andrew Cadey

A red-brick, three-storey Elizabethan Tower (listed grade I) with its two octagonal turrets. The Tower and moat is the only surviving part of the great Elizabethan courtyard house, probably built by Sir John Baker's son Richard, circa 1560-70 on the site of the earlier Baker house and demolished by Sir Horace Mann circa 1800.

The Tower was restored in 1931 by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson. The National Trust took over the whole of Sissinghurst including its garden, farm and buildings in 1967.
