Heiferlaw Tower


Heiferlaw Tower was a lookout tower for Alnwick Abbey, built in the late 15th century. It is a large squared stone 3 story and roofless tower. The tower has a panel bearing the Alnwick Abbey and Percy arms - a pair of fetterlocks (handcuffs) within a crescent, which was a design used by the 4th Earl of Northumberland, who also built the tower house at Hulne Friary.[1] Heiferlaw Tower is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England.
