The tower and the barn (to its left) and the farmhouse (behind the tower) are all Grade II listed buildings. The tower (Historic England List Entry Number: 1164309 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1164309 ) was a folly, probably built in the early nineteenth century. The barn (Historic England List Entry Number: 1071771 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1071771 ) dates from the eighteenth century; the farmhouse (Historic England List Entry Number: 1071770 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1071770 ) was built in the seventeenth century (and altered in 1844). The buildings were adapted for use as part of the Pontins Holiday Camp which operated here between 1939 and 1994.
