Duddo Tower, Medieval tower house in Duddo, United Kingdom
The rectangular stone structure measures 29 meters by 9.5 meters, featuring two storeys with circular towers at each corner and thick defensive walls.
The original pele tower from the medieval period was destroyed in 1496 during Scottish conflicts, leading to its reconstruction by the Clavering family.
The tower represents the architectural traditions of border regions between England and Scotland, where defensive residences protected wealthy inhabitants during unstable periods.
Visitors can examine the remaining vaulted rooms along the southern front and observe the architectural elements of both medieval and 18th-century construction periods.
The structure combines elements of a medieval tower house with an incomplete 18th-century folly, initiated by Sir Francis Blake around 1770.
