The old Tower of Fulford was built some time towards the end of the 16th century, and consisted of four storeys in an oblong block. In 1665 it was repaired using stone from Old Woodhouselee Castle, and it was renamed Woodhouselee.

In 1796 the upper floors were rebuilt, leaving only the basement untouched.

Fulford Tower was demolished in 1965, and the site is now grassed over.
