City Walls, Chester CH1 2JF Heritage Open Day: Visit this Medieval tower on Chester City Walls, 380 years since King Charles I watched his troops from here. Learn about the Tower’s history, its use by members of the Chester Guilds and its association with King Charles I. This medieval watch tower stands close to the location of the North-East angle tower of the Roman walls.

The opening is supported by Heritage Chester CIC, the Freemen and Guilds of Chester and Cheshire Historic Buildings Preservation Trust... READ MORE>
