In Peterborough’s western suburb of Longthorpe is a stunning three-storey tower from a 14th-century manor house. Longthorpe Tower is Grade I listed and maintained by English Heritage. The tower is a must for its incredible murals, painted around 1330 and covering almost all of the first floor. These were covered up with whitewash during the Reformation, and were only found once more in the 1940s. The paintings are almost unique in the UK, and have religious, moral and secular themes. Pondering these works you’ll see musicians, saints, animals, kings and a strange mythological beast shooting flaming excrement from its backside. The exhibition at the tower recounts the story of the building and the family that constructed it.
