An inscription on the western wall tells us a little history concerning the tower. It runs, In the year of Crist Ihu mcccclxxxviii. This towr was bilded by Sir Henry Percy The fourth Earl of Northumberland of great honor and worth, That espoused Maud the good lady full of vertue and beauty, Daughter to Sir William Harbirt noble and hardy Erie of Pembroke, whose soulis God save. And with his grace consarve the builder of this tower. The structure was probably intended for defence ; now it might ...be used as a fishing or shooting lodge. It is a pleasant road by which you return, along the side of the rippling Aln, under spreading branches where you will be at a loss which most to admire, the oak, birch, or beech, past rocky banks adorned with foxgloves, where a delicious spring tempts you to stop and drink, across broad openings— now enlivened by haymakers — catching varying views of park scenery. About half-an-hour's walking, and crossing a couple of bridges brings you to an ancient gateway, all that remains of Alnwick Abbey — the abbey founded by Eustace Fitz-John.
