Ludworth Tower

Ludworth Tower is a ruin of a tower house dating from the early 15th century, with a license to crenellate granted to Thomas Holden in 1422. The structure features thin courses of ochre-coloured limestone, some magnesian limestone, and sandstone quoins. On the west elevation, two fragments of the surviving wall rise to three storeys and have a central gap. This wall includes two roughly rectangular window openings on the first floor and one on the second floor, though the dressings have been removed. The east elevation displays rough stone voussoirs over deeply splayed jambs of these openings, with a fragment of a first-floor fire hood at the side of the gap, which has an apparent nook shaft. There is also a fragment of a stone spiral stair on the north side and remains of a barrel-vaulted chamber on the ground floor. Fragments that were previously identified to the south of the road are now either covered over or dispersed.
