[1] This fortified tower was built by Sir John Delves in 1364,[2] on the site of a former moated manor house.

[4] The house was demolished around 1777 and replaced by the new Doddington Hall, leaving the tower as a landscape feature which was possibly used as a gazebo or a banqueting pavilion.

[4] The tower is built in red sandstone ashlar with a slate roof on a square plan in three storeys with corner turrets.

Its central lower flight leads to a half-landing on which is a crude Ionic column supporting a naked female figure.

The undercroft to the lateral flights of stairs has rusticated pilasters on each side of which are large statues representing the Black Prince, Audley and his four squires, who are all dressed in armour.
