Magdalen Tower, a historic remnant of the church of St. Mary Magdalen in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, dates back to the 13th century and has witnessed significant events such as the Plague, Medieval Fayres, and the Civil War. After a devastating fire in 1742, which destroyed much of the town and the church itself, only the tower remains as a symbol of resilience and local folklore.
The tower, named after Mary Magdalene, embodies the intertwined history of the town and its people, including notable figures buried nearby. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its original appearance, the tower stands as a testament to the community's heritage and the enduring spirit of Stony Stratford.
