The tower originally stood behind High Riley Cottages, some time around 1830 it was taken down & rebuilt into what is now called Spire Farm, the rate assessment for 1828 & 1835 shows the valuation change.
Why should the courses not line up.
Take the present East Gate for example, how many can remember it as Pitt Street, looks like its always been like that.
