Brimstage Hall and Tower

The building combines a rebuilt sixteenth-century hall and a connecting tower from 1398 with notable Gothic architectural elements and stone masonry.

Sir Hugh Hulse and Marjory obtained permission to construct the tower in February 1398, marking the start of this Grade I listed building's documented history.

The tower contains a vaulted chamber with a carved corbel depicting a grinning cat, which influenced Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat character in literature.

The transformed site now functions as a shopping destination with multiple stores, dining establishments, and outdoor recreational spaces for visitors.

The original structure included a protective moat with high embankments, demonstrating medieval defensive architecture from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries.
