War of the Roses - 1455

A small watchtower strategically located in the Weald, this structure served as a lookout for approaching enemies or travelers. The watchtower would have been manned by local militia or guards, providing early warnings of incursions or movement in the surrounding area. During the War of the Roses, this would have been a key site for monitoring troop movements and responding to threats.

Stalwart stone watchtower rising from a dense thicket, with narrow arrow slits and a wooden platform at the top, surrounded by tall trees and under a foggy sky.
