The Plummer Tower, Newcastle
The Plummer Tower, Newcastle
This was one of the towers to Newcastle's town walls, built in the late 13th/early 14th centuries. The tower was heightened and roofed in the later 17th century as a meeting house for the Company of Cutlers. In 1749 he Company of Masons took it over and built the front facade. The house was added in the late 18th century. In 1811 the adjacent stretches of town wall were demolished, leaving the tower on its own.
