This tower house was built for John Todd, a former Jesuit priest, who became the town's Anglican bishop in 1606. The construction was undertaken by William Worsley, Todd's brother-in-law. During the Catholic uprising of 1641 much of the town of Dromore including the cathedral was destroyed. The castle however survived.
