The Tower House, Hartburn Dr John Sharpe, an 18th-century Vicar of Hartburn, built the crenellated Tower House that overlooks Hartburn Glebe. It was built as a village school, accommodation for the schoolmaster, and as a stable for the parish hearse in 1745. The north face of the house is built in an 18th-century Gothic style whilst the south face, with its stairs up the outside, resembles a large Northumbrian bastle house. Wikipedia.
If you look carefully you can see a traction engine parked in the drive!

Working Horse used to Move Fallen Trees There were a couple more horses and the men who were working them told us they were clearing trees that had fallen during Storm Arwen and expected to be there for a couple of years.  Some footpaths were closed due to fallen and unstable trees.
