About

The Pele Tower has a story to tell, placing this property at the heart of English history with Sir James Pickering, 3rd speaker of the House of Commons in 1378, living here. The Pickering family held Killington for over 300 years, often producing sons who held high office in the land.

Restoration

The property brings the original stone fireplaces, mullion windows and stone corbels together with sympathetic contemporary styling.

Wildlife
