Sights about the village

Two miles north-west of the village are the remains of a mediæval manor house and tower house at Welton Hall, now located within a farm complex. The tower house dates from the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century and is roofless. The manor house is even older, but has been much altered and rebuilt.[1]
Two miles north-east of Horsley is the site of the Roman fort of Vindobala, of which little is now visible. Nearby is Rudchester Hall, a mediæval pele tower, much altered and extended in Gothick style in the 18th and 19th centuries.[2]
