Halloughton Manor House has been described as a certain Pele Tower.

There are major building remains.

This is a Grade 2* listed building protected by law*.

Description

The narrow, three-storeyed tower at Halloughton Manor House was built by a prebend of nearby Southwell Minster. The ground floor has two narrow lancets and was probably used for storage. The first floor was approached by a staircase, partly external, rising from an attached hall, replaced by the present two-storeyed timber-framed structure of between 1580 and 1630. This chamber is lit by a lancet and a two two-light trefoiled window of mid-fourteenth-century date. As it shows no evidence of insertion, it probably identifies the period of construction. The approach to the private chambers above was by a narrow mural stair. Neither of the upper rooms were heated. (Emery)

Minor archaeological investigations, such as watching brief reports, and some other 'grey' literature is most likely to be held by H.E.R.s but is often poorly referenced and is unlikely to be recorded here, or elsewhere, but some suggestions can be found here.
The possible site or monument is represented on maps as a point location. This is a guide only. It should be noted that OS grid references defines an area, not a point location. In practice this means the actual center of the site or monument may often, but not always, be to the North East of the point shown. Locations derived from OS grid references and from latitude longitiude may differ by a small distance.
