Summary : Site of a pele tower at Lamplugh Hall, destroyed early 19th century.
More information : [NY 088207] Lamplugh Hall [TI] (1)

There was a pele-tower at Lamplugh Hall, which was destroyed c. 1812. (2)

Illustrated in an estate plan of 1778. It is probable that both the hall and tower were pulled down before building the new farmhouse. Samuel Jefferson, 1841, suggests that the tower was taken down 1821. Reminisces quoted in journal article state the old tower was bulky square building which stood high. It stood at the right hand of the entrance to the present farmyard, wall 9 feet thick. Stones used in the erection of the new farm building.
The hall is said to have burnt down in 1810. Manor house built around the Pele tower. (3)

See AO/LP/62/105 (2-3)

Lamplugh Hall is modern. There are no visible remains of the pre 1812 building. (4)

Listed with illustration of the pele in 1778. (5)
