The Carew Cheriton Control Tower, part of Carew Cheriton Airfield (NPRN 309962), was built in the early 1940s following award of the contract to 'Heaps' building firm in 1941. The control tower was built to a local, non-standard, design, to replace the original watch office which stood 50 metres west of the present building. The building is of single storey construction with an observation room on the roof, a bay window in the southern elevation and an earth blast mound surrounding the building for protection. The Carew Cheriton Control Tower Group was formed in the spring of 2000 and have restored the previously ruinous structure to its original condition.
