More information : In a list of towers compiled in 1460 mention is made of a tower belonging to the monks of Bamburgh. The base of this tower may still be plainly observed in a wall separating the churchyard from the house called Bamburgh Hall. It is about 33 feet in length, with masonry of a very solid character, and projects a short distance beyond the rest of wall into which it is built. (1)
NU17883496. A portion of the wall on the east side of the churchyard is of large blocks of dressed masonry with a plinth course on the west side. The stretch of wall thus constructed is 10.0m long and 0.8m thick. There are no architectural features visible and no trace of foundations are to be seen in the garden to the east. The wall is 2.2m high. See photograph. (2)
