Great Salkeld Rectory, Great Salkeld

Great Salkeld Rectory
Great Salkeld
Eden
Cumbria

The Rectory in Great Salkeld sits South of St Cuthberts just off the village green.

The Rectory was built in the early part of the 15th century, with alterations by Thomas Musgrave (Dean of Carlisle) being made in 1674. The oldest part of the building has thick red sandstone walls. This portion would originally have been a two storey pele tower, seen on the right hand side of the photos.

This fortified tower has been much altered, and as with many towers in the region, has lost its flat roof.

Hola desde Barcelona, España.
Ruego disculpas por no poder escribir en ingles, pues lamentablemente no lo hablo ni escribo, para poder leer el blog he usado el traductor Altavista, y me ha permitido disfruta de los textos y las fotos.
He quedado con ganas de más, seguiré buscando referencias de esta comarca para conocerla mejor y disfrutarla.
Saludos
Carlos
