Senior fundraiser steps down from position for Grade I-listed monument

A senior councillor is giving up his role in charge of raising cash to support a historic East Lancashire ancient monument.

The Grade One heritage-listed Turton Tower is a manor house in Chapeltown on the moors above Darwen and Bolton dating from the Middle Ages. Its original pele tower was enlarged mainly in late 16th century. “At that time I held the position of executive member for culture, leisure and sport, and museums fell under my remit. When I became chair the future of the Tower was very uncertain.

“I’ve been pleased to see how the Tower has developed since that time, and I see Turton Tower now being in a strong position. We’ve invested significantly – replacing the main Tower roof and with significant work on the stair turret dealing with dry rot.
