Warwick's Eastgate for Sale

Who wants to buy a medieval town gate? Warwick's Eastgate will be on the block April 14; the estimated price is £125,000. Locals wonder if the gate, which includes a room accessed via a single stairway below its clock tower and was previously rented to a local school, will attract a buyer given its hefty repair estimate and lack of access for disabled visitors. English Heritage has designated the gate as a Grade-II Listed Building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. These kinds of sales always highlight the ways in which issues of preservation and regulation intersect with contemporary needs and private ownership.
