Sowerby developed as a village in the 17th century although its origins go back much further than that. The house facing us in this photo, known merely as 52-54 Towngate (having been divided into to properties) dates from 1662 and is grade II* listed (entry 1319946). The house to the left, named Castle Hill after the nearby motte, is grade II (entry 1134460) and is mid-17th century with some earlier elements.
