We are named after Pele Tower, an example of which can be found in Ponteland, but also across much of the English-Scottish border including at Hulne Priory in Alnwick. The Pele Tower was a medieval watch tower that also acted as a safe haven and was built to protect the local people from Border reivers.
In the same way, Pele Trust has been built to be a symbol of strength, protection and trust.
