More correctly this is in fact the north wing of a manorial complex built in the 14thC by the Ayscough family. The old manor house,a castellated gatehouse and a southern wing have long since been demolished. The garden wall in this photo was once much taller, and it was also castellated. Cowling is an ancient settlement, it was held pre-conquest by Earl Edwin of Northumbria, and by Robert de Munster, the servant of Count Alan of Brittany in 1086.
