Avishays on Whiteway Hill is a large detached house which was partly built in the 17th century, but substantially altered between 1745 and 1759. It stands on the site of a former sham castle which had fallen into ruin, and served as a water tower as well as having a clock on the west side facing the house. Monmouth Tower comes from the escape of Elias Sealy, a follower of the Duke of Monmouth during the Monmouth Rebellion.
