Beacon Tower is a defensive structure located in Warwickshire, England. The tower forms part of the historical fortifications and beacon systems that were constructed during periods of national defence needs. As a beacon tower, its primary function was to serve as a signalling station, relaying warnings or intelligence across the landscape through visual means such as fire or smoke. The structure reflects the military engineering practices and communication technologies employed during its period of use, contributing to our understanding of early modern defensive infrastructure in the English Midlands.
