Wiltshire Council have given conservationists at the Grade I listed Longleat House - Wiltshire's second most-visited tourist attraction after Stonehenge - listed building consent to make repairs. Experts told Wiltshire Council the turret has suffered from "long-term water ingress through its exposed domed masonry roof and upper blind windows." "These works are intended to ensure that the turret structure and the rooms beneath are better protected from further deterioration and potential harm." - https://t.co/t7A1ayW7mR pic.twitter.com/Dk1fvaFm1K — Wiltshire Times (@wiltshiretimes) April 13, 2026The octagonal turret located on the west wall of the east courtyard of Longleat House.
