13/37 Tower to north-west of Fulwood House

II

Probably watch tower. Late C18. English garden wall bond brickwork partly rendered, roof hidden by battlemented parapet. Small, square 3-storey tower. Open ground floor chamber has segmental arch with impost blocks and keystone. External stone steps to side entrance at first floor level: similar plank door on opposite side, has painted letters GHQ, thought to date from its use by the Home Guard in World War II. First floor sash windows with glazing bars in shallow segmental brick arches, on north and south faces. Diamond-paned iron casements above. Ground floor interior has small square angle niches. Thought to have been used by excise officers to watch for smugglers bringing contraband through the Solway from the Isle of Man. See Transactions Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, new series, liii, pp216-7, illustrating a similar tower at Drumburgh House. Derelict and unoccupied at time of survey.
