Lund's Tower
Standing on land belonging to Buxton Farm the tower was built with stone from Hangingstone Lane. Work started in 1890 and took two years to complete. The masons were local coming from Cowling, Sutton and Buxton Farm. The architects were Brosters of Keighley. The work was paid for by James Lund of Malsis Hall.
The tower has a spiral stairway with thirty nine steps leading to a balcony with magnificent views of Airedale and the surrounding countryside.
Repair and pointing was carried out in 1974 by Crosshills Naturalists' Society and in 1997 the tower was given to Sutton-in-Craven Parish Council. Since then major restoration work has been carried out by the Sutton Conservation Group.
