Delves Hall, Tower house in Doddington, United Kingdom

The fortified structure features red sandstone walls, corner turrets with battlements, and an external Jacobean imperial staircase leading to the entrance front.

Built in 1364 by Sir John Delves on a former moated manor site, the tower provided refuge during conflicts and later integrated into Doddington Hall.

The Grade I listed designation reflects the building's exceptional architectural value within England's built heritage, representing medieval defensive residential design.

The tower remains a part of Doddington Park landscape, situated north of Doddington Hall at coordinates 53.0197°N and 2.4356°W.

During the English Civil War in January 1644, parliamentary forces stationed at Delves Hall lost control to Lord Byron before reclaiming it shortly after.
