Ashton gatehouse has been restored after some extensive and expensive care - it was all but gutted after years of neglect and vandalism. Now it can offer a special business meeting facility, as well as being a historic asset. Sadly, the restoration was constrained by its grade listing, which demanded lead sheeting for the roofing. Shortly after completion, thieves stole some of it from the lower west roof.
