Whithaughe

The Burghley Atlas© British Library Board, Cartographic Items Royal MS.18.d.III., f.76r

A tower belonging to Archie Armstrong once stood in this area but nothing of it now remains and its exact location is unclear.

The tower is marked as “Archie of Whithaughe” on a map of 1590 which appeared in “An atlas of England and Wales, made by Christopher Saxton”, a book owned by William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, and commonly referred to as The Burghley Atlas.
