Description
"A survey of 1541 refers to a tower "newly built at Downham." It was stated to be incomplete, and awaiting the addition of embattlements and a barmkin (Bates). There are no apparent remains of the tower, and its site could not be established (F1 RWE 21-DEC-66). By 1541 two floors had been completed, and a third floor, battlements anda barmkin were added before 1568. It survived an attack by the Scots in 1596. It is not mentioned again...." -
