Work begins to save Clavell Tower6 September 2006
The tower will be carefully dismantled and each stone numbered and recorded to enable it to be rebuilt to its original design. In addition to moving the building, services such as electricity and water will need to be brought in, new stone will need to be carved to replace the missing sections of the parapet and facilities such as a kitchen and bathroom inserted. The project is costing £898,000 which includes training for students from a local college in traditional stone masonry skills, an education programme run with four local primary schools and the production of information boards.
