Description

A medieval tower house, dating from the 14th century and likely built for Adam de Yrton, is now incorporated into Irton Hall. The tower is constructed from granite rubble with carved sandstone detailing. It features an overhanging, crenellated parapet, probably renewed in the 18th century, and sits beneath a lead roof. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with two irregular bays. The window openings are varied, some original with carved labels and cusped heads, while others are later 19th-century additions. Internally, the basement has a segmental vault, and there is a full-height newel staircase. The main entrance has been created through the adjoining school building.
