	By the time the trust acquired Wimpole, the Gothic Tower was a building at risk. Some sections of walls had partially fallen, and the floor and roof of the tower had collapsed. Urgent repairs were carried out but the work was not able to extend to the reinstatement of the crenellations, so the parapet was built up in plain brickwork. Following the repairs in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and during the intervening years, the condition of the structure steadily worsened, the site was overgrown and the ground undermined by rabbits. The tower had to be fenced off to the public.		By the time the trust acquired Wimpole, the Gothic Tower was a building at risk.

	Since these earlier conservation repairs in 1980s by Purcell Miller Tritton, further funding opportunities have enabled the latest repair works to go ahead to secure the future of this significant parkland structure. The works have been developed and carried out by a specialist team with Donald Insall Associates as conservation architects and Cliveden Conservation as principal contractor.
