St Margaret's Tower, Staveley
St. Margaret's Tower, Staveley, Cumbria.
Originally this tower was a chapel built in 1388. Only the tower remains now, and this has seen considerable rebuilding work over the centuries.
In 1621 the High Constable of Staveley called a meeting of Border tenants here to challenge King James 1st’s plans to reclaim the Border Estates (land given by the King for supporting the English against the Scots). The King’s plan was defeated at court in 1625.
