slade castle

Slade castle was built in two stages. The first was the tower at the northern end, built probably by one of the Laffan family in the late 15th or early 16th century. The tower is 56 feet high and is battlemented, and there is a fireplace and a cupboard in a room on the third storey.

The second stage was the addition of a house in the 16th or early 17th century. The house is not as high as the tower and has simple moulded windows on the first floor.

At the east end of the house is an annexe with a corbelled roof, possibly associated with the manufacture of salt in the 18th century.
