Cockle Park Tower


The tower house at Cockle Park Farm is thought to have been built c.1520 for Sir William, 4th Lord Ogle. It passed to the Bothal Estates, whose later owners became Dukes of Portland. In the 19th century it became the centre of the Duke's experimental farm. The farm is now part of Newcastle University. Cockle Park Tower is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
