Background
History
The property, believed to have been built in the late 15th century as a pele tower, was first recorded in a survey of 1541. During the early years of the 19th century Harle Tower was inhabited by Lord Charles Murray-Aynsley and his wife Alicia, née Mitford. His descendants remain in residence (with the East Wing of the house occupied by the Turnbull family in 2005 and the Rogers family in 2010, but as of 2013, it is home of the Andersons).
Architecture
The house incorporates a three-storey tower of medieval origins. The central two-storey block of five bays dates from the early 18th century. Substantial additions were made in the Gothic Revival style in about 1862, but much of the 19th-century work has not survived a remodelling of the property in 1980. The 19th-century stable block is also a separately listed Grade II building.
