( lower marker )
The north west tower survived into the 17th century and was converted into a house. In about 1714 it was taken over by the new charity school for girls. Much of the tower was demolished in 1857 when the present school building was erected to a design by James Murray.
The lowermost parts of the medieval tower does survive and its exterior is best seen at the bottom of the steps on the next level down.
