Bosworth Park Water Tower

Highlight • Other

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.

Market Bosworth War Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Market Bosworth is famously near to the site of the decisive final battle of the Wars of the Roses.

The Battle of Bosworth occurred just south of the town in 1485, marking the conclusive and significant clash in the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. This historic engagement ultimately led to the demise of King Richard III.

The town is also known for its beautiful flower displays in the Leicestershire in Bloom competition.
