About the event
Churches with round towers are a distinctive architectural feature in the landscape of East Anglia. Â As such they have aroused interest and comments from locals and visitors alike. Â In looking at these round towers we will consider the three questions which most people ask about them.Â
- Why were they built round?
- How old are they?
- How were they built?
We shall also consider how efforts are made to conserve them for future generations.
