The Friends of Shenstone Tower group has been fundraising to carry out the work on the building at St John the Baptist Church.

Plans were approved earlier this year for a new viewing tower to be installed alongside repair work on the 13th Century structure.

A ceremony at 10am on 28th August will mark the beginning of the renovation.

A spokesperson said:

> “There will be a chance to see photographs and information about the tower as well as a reception in the church, where coffee and cakes will be available.”
