Hiking
The Tentering Tower is an unusual building in that its purpose seems to have been twofold. It served both as part of the textile industry and also to act as a point of focus in the landscape. Tentering involved the stretching and drying of cloth fixed to wooden frames by a series of sharply pointed hooks. The factory of which it was part was built in 1877 by a local textile manufacturing family, Porritt.
