Duddo Tower, south of the village, was built late in the 16th century.{{NHLE |num= 1042172 |desc=Duddo Tower |date=22 December 1969 |accessdate=3 October 2013}} It is now a ruin and a Scheduled Monument.{{NHLE |num= 1018443 |desc=Duddo Tower |date=22 January 1964 |accessdate=3 October 2013}} It replaced an earlier tower built in 1496.
Churches and school
The Church of England parish church of All Saints is a Gothic Revival building.{{NHLE |num= 1042170 |desc=Church of All Saints |date=10 March 1988 |accessdate=3 October 2013}} It is in a Decorated Gothic style and was completed in 1879.
All Saints' church replaced the earlier parish church of St James the Great, which was designed by Ignatius Bonomi in a neo-Norman style and built in 1832.{{NHLE |num= 1370998 |desc=St James Church and Attached School Buildings |date=10 March 1988 |accessdate=3 October 2013}} It was later converted into part of the parish school, presumably when All Saints' church was built. The school has since closed and the building is now a private house.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}}
