Round towers on English churches are a bit of a rarity, this one is of the Parish Church of Beeston St Lawrence.

Interesting find. Saxon perhaps?

Thanks John, it is a late Saxon round tower and also so is part of north Nave wall. The remainder is early 14th to 15th centuries. The local Preston family memorials are also kept within.
