The War Memorial Tower is a significant landmark, both historically and socially, serving as a symbol of the community’s connection to and remembrance of those affected by war. It is also valued for its aesthetic qualities, particularly the skilled use of local sandstone in its construction.
Over time, the tower naturally aged and some elements deteriorated. Conservation works in 2025 have restored its original character to ensure it remains a lasting place of remembrance for future generations.
Key feature of the project included:
February 2026: This project is now complete. The park reopened to the public on 27 February 2026.
August 2025: The project is scheduled to start in early September 2025 and is expected to be completed by late 2025/early 2026.
