Wybunbury Tower is what remains of the building formerly known as St Chad's Church in the village of Wybunbury, Cheshire, England. The body of the original church has been demolished but the tower still stands. The tower is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The site of the tower is a Scheduled Monument. The current St Chad's Church is located in a modern building on a different site in the village. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Chad%27s_Church,_Wybunbury

Wybunbury Tower stands on the site of St Chad's Church in the village. It is one of the most impressive church towers in Cheshire.

This area was once used for open cast mining, the history of which is detailed on the on-site information plaque. I am presuming the area was converted to a lake when the site was converted to a Country Park.

Helpful information board can be found here detailing the history of Furnace Pool which was re-modelled in 1987. Originally, the pool was much smaller and was a series of three that may have been a mill pool for a water driven blast furnace at the beginning of the nineteenth century (info from the on-site information plaque). N.B. you can view the pool from here and access the information board. However, access to the pool (from this particular point) is blocked by a fence, so you if you wanted to take a closer look you would need to access it from the roadside entrance.
