A named place photographed at this map point in City of Milton Keynes.
Wavendon Tower, built in the 16th century, was constructed by Sir Thomas Tresham, a Catholic recusant, as a family home and place of worship during a period of religious persecution. It is important as a rare example of late-Tudor domestic architecture and as a symbol of Catholic resilience in England.
