Burgess Gate

The Burgess Gate was built as part of the outer defences of Denbigh Castle between 1282 and 1294. The gate is a Grade I listed building. Located at the northern section of the medieval town walls of Denbigh, in Denbighshire, Wales, The gate was one of the two principal entrances into the walled town, the other being the exchequer gate to the south, which no longer survives. In 1646 the gate was the scene of a major conflict during the siege of Denbigh by Parliamentarian forces during the English civil war. The gate shows signs of considerable damage that was likely incurred the civil war.
