Summary : Site of a vicar's pele, recorded in the survey of 1542. The tower had been altered by 1826 and was subsequently demolished, leaving no visible trace.
More information : A survey of 1542 refers to a tower being the "mansion of the vicargae". (1) The tower stood a short distance west of the church, and by the early 19th cent it had been altered or extended so that the vicarage was a long narrow building running east and west beside the road. This old vicarage was entirely demolished by the Rev Goodenough who built the present vicarage on the same ground but set much further from the road (2) (Old vicarge shows in plan of 1826 at NU06511194) (3) (1)(2)(3) No trace of this tower exists. Site occurs in the garden of the present vicarage. (4)
