Sugwoth Hall – Boot’s tower

Filed under: General — Mike Chapman @ 8:59 pm

Boot’s tower showing the removed staircase

As I cycled around the Peak District I made note of interesting footpath signs for the time I could not cycle. Well that time has arrived and this weekend we did the first on my list Boot’s tower. It was built in 1935, a folly, to give work during the depression. The staircase was removed when a cow attempted to get to the top floor and got stuck. In getting her out they removed the staircase. It was cold and very windy both Judy and I of modest build were nearly blown away on a couple of occasions.
