What are the four towers to the south of the village? Concrete bases with a brick top half?

Just curious.


Across the Welland (and so in Northants), the brick towers at Wakerley were kilns built for reducing iron ore by calcining it so that there was less bulk and weight to transport to the steel works (at Corby). I believe they date from the First World War and that German PoWs worked on them.
