| This was the site of the medieval tower house known as Farnham Tower. It was first recorded in 1414. A number of earthworks can be seen in the area, they may have surrounded an area of parkland around the tower. Traces of a foundation can be seen, though there are no surviving stones. The stone from the tower was probably built into nearby houses. See also:
