Witton Tower

Witton Tower is a house that may have served as a chapel, originating in the medieval period with later additions and alterations made in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The building features thin courses of sandstone rubble, which are pink in places, along with ashlar dressings and quoins, and a plinth. The roofs are made of stone flags and Welsh slate, complemented by stone and brick chimneys.

The structure has an irregular plan and consists of a three-storey, one-bay tower, a two-storey, two-bay left wing, and a three-storey, three-bay right wing, with a two-storey, one-bay link to the so-called chapel that projects forward. The tower has a Tudor-arched door surround leading to a c.1900 glazed porch. The windows vary in type and size, with the tower featuring stone-mullioned flat-Tudor-headed lights. The left side of the tower has cross-type windows on the ground floor, and above are 16-pane sash windows and Y-glazing barred sashes. The right wing contains sash windows with glazing bars set in Tudor-arched surrounds, most of which have drip or label moulds. The right wing also has string courses on the upper floors that are interrupted by windows.

The link to the chapel has a two-light stone-mullioned window on the ground floor, while the upper window is obscured by ivy. The chapel itself features a three-light window with a two-centred-arched drip mould and round stops, a small lancet window above, and a belfry at the front gable peak. The tower is topped with a high coped parapet on a string course, and it has a central stone chimney stack with tapered yellow pots, along with brick stacks at the right and at the outer ends of the wings. The interior has not been inspected.
