Wybunbury Tower, Gothic church tower in Wybunbury, England
The 29-meter sandstone tower features a deeply recessed west doorway, three-light windows, and decorative niches containing bishop statues and Trinity figures.
Built in the 15th century, the tower required significant stabilization in 1832 when James Trubshaw pioneered an underground excavation method to correct its tilt.
The tower contains six bells cast by John Rudhall in 1791, which continue to ring for community events and ceremonies.
The Wybunbury Tower Preservation Trust maintains the structure and organizes guided visits to explore the architectural features and engineering history.
This tower's stabilization technique became the foundation for correcting the lean of the Tower of Pisa in the 1990s.
