(Marginal) A list of 1415 refers to a tower at Kirkley in the possession of Sir William Eure. (1)

Mr. E. J. Hetterington, Principal of the Farm Institute, now housed in Kirkley Hall, has no knowledge of the tower, or of its site. There are no traces of one in the vicinity of Kirkley Hall. (2)

The tower was built shortly before 1415 by Sir William Eure, and a manor house was added to it later. These were demolished by Cuthbert Ogle who replaced them with Kirkley Hall in 1764. (3,4)
