Embleton Tower, Peel tower in Embleton, England
The rectangular stone structure rises three stories high with two vaulted chambers in the basement and features traditional Norman architectural elements in its lower section.
Built in 1395 for £40, the tower protected the minister and churchgoers of Embleton's Church of the Holy Trinity following raids by Scottish forces.
Between 1875 and 1884, historian Mandell Creighton resided at the vicarage, where he wrote his extensive work on papal history.
The tower measures 19 feet 8 inches from east to west and 40 feet 7 inches from north to south, with a central chimney on the east wall.
The basement contains two vaulted rooms with one featuring a fireplace and storage provisions, maintaining original structural elements despite modernization.
