| Author/Originator | Parsons, D |
| Date/Year | 1978 |
Abstract/Summary
The stair turret attached to the W tower at Brixworth has its treads supported by a helical barrel vault of rubble. A review of English and Continental parallels suggests a date no earlier than 11th or even 12th century; the very uniqueness of Brixworth constitutes a typological problem.
