Begun in 1915 and not opened until 1925, it is considered one of the last great Gothic buildings to be built in England. Architecture commentator Nikolaus Pevsner described it as: "a tour de force in Gothic Revival, so convinced, so vast, and so competent that one cannot help feeling respect for it."

  • The Wills Memorial Building (also known as the Wills Memorial Tower or simply the Wills Tower) is a neo-Gothic building in Bristol, England, designed by Sir George Oatley and built as a memorial to Henry Overton Wills III by his sons George and Henry Wills. Begun in 1915 and not opened until 1925, it is considered one of the last great Gothic buildings to be built in England. Standing near the top of Park Street on Queens Road, it is a landmark building of the University of Bristol that currently houses the School of Law and the Department of Earth Sciences, as well as the Law and Earth Sciences libraries. It is the fourth highest structure in Bristol, standing at 215 ft (65.5 m). Many regard the building as synonymous with the University of Bristol. It is the centrepiece building of the university precinct and is used by the university for degree ceremonies and examinations, which take place in the Great Hall. Architecture commentator Nikolaus Pevsner described it as: "a tour de force in Gothic Revival, so convinced, so vast, and so competent that one cannot help feeling respect for it." It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building and serves as a regional European Documentation Centre. (en)
