There are only three Greyfriars Towers left in Britain and this is the best preserved, probably because it served as a landmark for traders and sailors after the dissolution of the monastery.

One of the largest, best preserved and most lavishly decorated keeps in England, surrounded by 20 acres of mighty earthworks. Building of the castle was begun in 1138 by the Norman lord William d'Albini for his new wife, the widow of Henry I. In the 14th century it became the luxurious residence of Queen Isabella, widow (and alleged murderess) of Edward II. (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/castle-rising-castle/) The nearby tea rooms are a delightful cycle-friendly stop for refreshments.
