See also:Clock and See also:watch-making seems to have been an important See also:trade here in the 18th century. The town suffered much from the incursions of the Scots, and Ralph, earl of Westmorland, who died 1426, built the castle, but a See also:tower called the See also:Bishop's Tower had been previously erected on the same site.
