Radcliffe Tower is the only surviving part of a manor house in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester (historically in Lancashire), England. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Monument. The house was rebuilt in 1403 by James de Radcliffe, who was lord of the manor of Radcliffe, and consisted of a stone-built hall and one or two towers, probably built with ashlar blocks. De Radcliffe was given a royal licence to fortify the site including adding crenellations and battlements.[1]
The manor house was demolished in the 19th century leaving only the tower. The tower measures by and survives to about in height. The remains are owned by Bury Council.[2] It was used as a pig sty before being restored. Radcliffe Tower is about south of Bury Castle, a late 15th-century moated manor house.
In 2009, plans to restore the shell of the tower as part of a wider restoration project covering Radcliffe E'es, Close Park and the parish church were launched with the support of Bury Council.[3]
