The Gatehouse
The Gatehouse, also called the Warrior's Cottage, is a building located exterior to Redwall Abbey but still within its walls. The Recorder of Redwall, who documents and maintains Redwall history, generally resides here, as does the Gatekeeper.
A Gatehouse resident is in charge of opening and closing Redwall's gate. However, Recorders and Gatekeepers are not necessarily positions held by the same Redwaller, and living in the Gatehouse does not necessarily mean that one has the "Gatekeeper" or "Recorder" title. Sometimes, Recorders and Gatekeepers might both reside in the Gatehouse as roommates.
For a brief time, the family of Matthias resided in the Gatehouse.
