Description
Doddington Bastle is a ruined strong house built in 1584 for Lord Grey. It is constructed from very large roughly-dressed stone, with dressed stone quoins and window surrounds. The building has a T-shaped layout, featuring a three-storey main block and a projecting three-storey gabled stair tower.
The main block measures approximately 60 feet by 25 feet. The west wall remains at full height, while the north wall stands to about 20 feet. There was a doorway to the right of the stair tower.
The stair tower is intact and features three slit windows on its south front. In the south-west corner, the remains of a parapet can be seen. At the rear, there are three large buttresses and a blocked door, along with two slit windows.
Inside the stair tower, there are remnants of a stone newel stair. On the ground floor, there is a large blocked segmental arch leading to a fireplace, and on the first floor, there is another fireplace with a flat lintel.
