The College, Kirkoswald
The College, Kirkoswald in the Eden Valley of Cumbria.
This fine house was originally built in 1450 as a defensive pele tower. It was converted into a college for priests in the 1520s, but just over twenty years later its use as a college ended due to the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Not open to the public.
