    It was dissolved on 22 November 1539, (Henry VIII to blame) and much of the stone was used for other buildings nearby, including the steps leading to Leeds bridge (at the botton of Briggate). A lot of the tower remained intact until a torrential storm in 1779.
    It has done very well as a ruin. Lots of artists came to paint it, including JMW Turner (below) who painted this in 1824


    And another reproduction of that
