Corbridge Vicar's Pele, Medieval defensive tower in Corbridge, England.
The three-story sandstone tower contains one room per level and features a pointed-arched doorway with an original oak door on its east side.
Built in 1318 during border conflicts with Scotland, the tower served as a fortified vicarage until the early seventeenth century using materials from nearby Roman structures.
The Grade I listed building stands in St Andrew's Church grounds next to the Market Cross, representing the architectural heritage of medieval Northumberland.
Following a three-year renovation completed in 2016, the ground floor now operates as a micro gin bar while upper levels host wedding ceremonies and events.
The structure incorporates large squared stones from the Roman fortress of Coria, demonstrating the medieval practice of repurposing local architectural materials.
