Vicar's Pele Tower, Ponteland


Ponteland

  • Description

    "The Vicarage Tower or Vicar's Pele was built around 1400. Pele Towers were defensive buildings constructed to provide defence during the border raids. It was formerly the residence of the vicars of Ponteland and in the C18th was incorporated into a much larger vicarage complex. This was demolished in 1860 although the tower was left as a harness room. The tower was restored in 1971 and 2002." Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010.
