Vicar's Pele: a medieval tower house on north side of Main Street

The National Heritage List for England records Vicar's Pele: a medieval tower house on north side of Main Street as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Vicar's Pele is a medieval tower house believed to have been built in the 14th or 15th century, likely by a local gentry family or cleric, given its name and location near the church. It is important as a rare surviving example of a pele tower, reflecting the defensive and social architecture of the medieval north of England.
