Cockle Park Tower is a Grade 1 listed building[1] in the hamlet of Cockle Park, Northumberland, England, some Шаблон:Convert to the north of Morpeth.
This three-storied tower-house was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge and later extended by the addition of a domestic building. One end of the building has a pair of machiolated bartisans with a stretch of machicolation along the wallhead between them.[1][2]
The tower was used as a students' hostel until the mid-1970s, at which time major structural problems became apparent. Newcastle University undertook major repair work in the early 21st century,[3] as part of an overall plan for the development of their Cockle Park farm estate into the Centre for Renewable Energy from Land (CREEL).[4]
