Waynflete's Tower - Farnham Castle

Waynflete's Tower - Farnham Castle
William Waynflete (1447 – 1486) built this tower about 1470.
It stands on the foundations of an earlier, smaller stone entrance or ‘porch’ to the Great Hall.
Waynflete pioneered the use of red brick, also used in the construction of Hampton Court Palace and many Oxford and Cambridge Colleges
Two sundials refer to the passing hours with Latin mottos:
• “Practereunt” (“They pass by”)
• “Imputantur” (“They are reckoned unto us”)

It is also historically interesting in its use of brickwork instead of stone.
