More information : A list dated 1415 mentions a tower at West Harle. (1)
The old mansion house at West Harle has windows with mullions and weather mouldings of stone. One room, now a kitchen, is vaulted and was probably the vault of the tower. The additions to this part were probably made in 1629, the date appearing over the front door. (2)
NY 99048203. The present farmhouse at West Harle is a small plain building, which appears quite modern. It occupies a good position and so is probably built on the site of the mediaeval tower and later mansion. (3)
Listed as DMV. (4)
Incorporated in the stone walls around the farm are
portions of the original house walls and stone roofing slabs. An earth and stone bank at NY 99048199 probably represents the remains of two houses, all that survives apart from the present farm of the village which traditionally comprised of 16 houses. (5)
The tower at West Harle had been built by the early 15th century. In 1722 the tower at Wset Harle was described as a `stone vaulted room used as a kitchen', that is completely enveloped by the later farmhouse. (6)
