BELTON AND MANTHORPE SK 948 388
Bellmount Tower
Originally the belvedere, built in 1749, had arched wings, giving it better proportions. On the advice of Philip Yorke to the 1st Lord Brownlow, they were removed in about 1780. Yorke comented:
Belmount may be well clipped its two wings; they are the most offending members, and I think sh'd be cut off'.
The arch became known as 'Lord Brownlow's Britches'.
The tower was damaged by fire in 1841 and was restored about 1989.
