Paull Holme Tower, Medieval tower in Paull, England

The three-story rectangular tower features a tunnel-vaulted basement, red and blue banded bricks, and limestone ashlar dressings in English bond structure.

Built in the early 15th century as a hunting lodge for the lords of Hedon, the tower underwent significant restoration work in 1871 by Colonel Bryn Holme.

The tower displays a shield of arms on its outer wall, combining the Holme family emblems with a lion rampant representing the Wastney family.

The structure received a £160,000 grant from Historic England in 2016 for restoration work to address its deteriorating condition.

The tower sits within a rectangular moated enclosure measuring 190 meters north to south and 100 meters east to west, with three visible moat arms.
