In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Fowberry like this:

FOWBERRY, a hamlet in Bambrough parish, Northumberland; on the river Till, 3 miles NE of Wooler. Fowberry Tower here is pleasantly and romantically situated; belonged, in 1273, to William de Folebyr; was attacked, in 1524 and 1532, by the Scots; and is now a modernly reconstructed edifice, the seat of the Culleys.
