THORNTON TOWER, SHORESWOOD
-
Description
"A survey of 1560, describes a partly destroyed tower with a barmkin, at Thornton. It was destroyed in 1513 (Raine). The site is on the level top of a slight natural ridge, now under the plough. There is no trace of a building or courtyard. Tower house and barmkin built shortly after 1348, badly damaged in 1513, but one corner had been repaired by 1561, in which year it was sold and nothing of its subsequent history is known...." -
