Radcliffe Tower was built in 1403 by James De Radcliffe. It is pele tower or tower house. On its western side it was attached to a timber-framed Great Hall of which all visible traces have disappeared. The Tower is also associated with various ghosts, and in particular with the ballad of Lady Isabella's tragedy which is a story of cannibalism!
