Conservation work has started to repair the Beacon tower located within Burton Dassett Hills Country Park.
The Warwickshire County Council project saw delays after bats were identified to be hibernating inside the tower’s domed roof.
The Beacon tower is one of only two historical monuments found in Warwickshire (the other being Chesterton windmill), and since 1952 has been a Grade II listed building. This project will see the tower restored as sympathetically as possible to its original state to preserve it for future generations.
