The water tower, by architect Thomas Garner, dates from around 1885. The Victorian Society said in its description of the privately owned structure: "The striking, two-storey water tower at Bosworth Park, nestled within a walled garden beside the former orangery, is both an architectural gem and a relic of Victorian ingenuity." "Originally supplying the grand Bosworth Hall with water drawn from natural springs and distributed by gravity, the tower continues to serve the estate - now a hotel. An undated water system plan shows it fed the kitchen offices, stables, wash house, and WC." However, the building has been named among the country's top 10 most endangered Victorian buildings. Bosworth Park Water Tower is a Grade II-listed structure, but the brickwork is crumbling and it stands overlooking a walled garden which is also in need of restoration.

The present buildings date from 14th and 15th centuries. There is stained glass window by Kempe in the south aisle. The Dixie memorials commemorate various members of the family who first came to Bosworth in 1567. The tower houses 8 bells, 2 of which date back to 1624 and 1630. The font dates back to 13th century, during the 20th century a pinnacle crashed from the tower through the roof and severely damaged the font.

What better way to recharge the batteries mid-hike than to enjoy some chips and a juicy cod fillet? 😋

Lovely place to be out with family
