Beeston Towers

Beeston Towers is a timber-framed country house with a distinctive four-story tower rising from the structure in Beeston. The building spans three main stories with sections finished in rendered brick along Whitchurch Road.

John Naylor, a timber merchant from Warrington, commissioned the building in 1886 as his private residence. Its construction reflects the architectural styles and building practices of the Victorian era.

The building became a girls' boarding school in the 1930s when Ethel Amelia Gapp established an educational institution there. This role as a school defined the place for many decades and gave it meaning beyond a family home.

The building holds Grade II listed status, which means access may be restricted or require advance notice due to preservation requirements. Checking conditions and accessibility before visiting is advisable to ensure you can view the property.

The property operated as the Wild Boar Hotel with 66 guest rooms until 2017 before the business closed down. After ceasing hotel operations, the structure fell into a period of disuse and deterioration.
