NU 086-407 Northumberland England
Fenham
Tower was originally a monastic grange, which was a subsidiary of the Benedictine
priory of Lindisfarne. In 1339, its large stone manor house was fortified by adding
a tower, with a vaulted basement and in 1385, a moat encased this range of buildings.
Of the medieval manorial complex and its encasing precinct wall and ditch, only
earthworks now remain. 3 miles east is Lindisfarne Castle
and 4 miles north-west is Haggerston Castle.
Fenham Tower is located in the village centre, off the A1. 10 miles south of Berwick Upon Tweed, on the A1.
The site is visible from the road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
