God's House Tower stands at the south-east corner of the town walls that once encircled medieval Southampton. The whole structure is really an amalgamation of two buildings: a simple gatehouse, built in the late 13th century; and a massive spur work, an early 15th century addition consisting of a two-storey gallery and a three-storey tower. The building takes its name from the nearby hospital of God's House, founded in 1168 by Gervase le Riche as a refuge for poor travellers.
