Belchester House

The Merce or Shirrefdome of Berwick
Joan Blaeu, Amsterdam, 1654map image courtesy of NLS

Belchester is marked as a tower on Joan Blaeu’s map of 1654.

It was referenced in a verse commenting on the renowned good looks of the womenfolk of the Dickson family.

Twixt Bughtrig and Belchester,
Hatchetnize and Darnchester,
Leitholm and the Peel,
If ye canna get a wife betwixt these
Ye’ll ne’er do weel.

The tower is now incorporated into an early 19th century house.
