The only remaining evidence of this union surviving above ground today is the front entrance of Cresswell Hall, now bricked up.

It was removed from Historic England's Heritage at Risk register after an extensive renovation completed in 2021, which included the addition of a brand-new wooden-framed roof.

For some unknown reason the entrance doorway to the Mansion House was saved, and it can still be seen built into the field wall on the east side of the tower.

A sad local legend associated with the tower tells how a beautiful daughter of the Cresswell's had fallen in love with a young Danish prince.

The couple made plans for the prince to cross the sea from Denmark and carry off the young girl to his home country where they were to be married.
