Beeston Towers (later the Wild Boar Hotel) is a former country house near the village of Beeston, Cheshire, England. It stands on the A49 road some 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of the village. It was built in 1886 for John Naylor, a timber merchant from Warrington.[2] Extensive additions were made in the early part of the 20th century. The building, described by one source as "like a bad dream of Little Moreton Hall",[2] is timber-framed, with additions in rendered brick. It is in three storeys, with a tower of four storeys. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] During the 20th century the building was converted into use as a school. Later it was developed as a restaurant, and in 1998 an accommodation block was added, making it into a hotel.[3] The hotel closed in 2017 and, as of 2021[update], the building was unoccupied.[4]
