It exhibits Norman work from the 15th century onwards, which is when the tower was built.Brandesburton is now known for the Billabong Jet Ski centre which operates throughout the year, the Hainsworth Park Golf Club, The Burton Lodge Hotel and The Dacre Lakeside camping and Caravan Park, which make it a relatively popular holiday destination.
