Steeton Tower And Adjoining Wall Victoria Tower And Adjoining Wall

The tower, now a house, and adjoining wall date from around 1887 and were built for Henry Isaac Butterfield. It is constructed of thin coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and the roof is not visible. The tower is five stages high, square in plan, with a battered first stage. It features quoins and chamfered bands. Each of the first four stages has a chamfered rectangular window on each side, with a doorway set into the north-east wall. The top stage is embattled and juts out on each side on corbels. Three faces of the tower are decorated with a crest, "V.R.", and "H.I.B.". An adjoining wall to the north-west has an embattled parapet and a carved tablet that reads, in bold relief, "JUBILEE YEAR 1887 VICTORIA. R.I. DIAMOND JUBILEE. 1897.” The tower is a prominent landmark built to celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
