PLEASE NOTE: the Langtons are retiring at the end of November 2025. As everyone scrambles to finish that "one last project" both their stock and mine are dwindling quickly. They will no longer be able to restock me on the ACW, Renaissance, Ancients, and Anglo-Dutch lines. I am adjusting inventory levels as quickly as possible, so please bear with me as you place orders. Stock will be limited to what's shown on the website. Sadly, it's the end of an era! Thanks for your support! Also, my email has changed. All correspondence should go to robeubanks9940@gmail.com.
These extremely strong fortifications were developed to protect Britain's coastline from a potential French invasion. Over 100 were built, mainly around the south and east coasts. They had been designed to carry one long 24lb cannon and two 32lb carronades, all mounted on a revolving platform, but most were only armed with the 24lb cannon.
The name and concept came from an action in 1794 in Mortella in Corsica. Royal Navy ships and batteries manned by naval ratings took a considerable time to capture a similar tower, although it was relatively lightly armed. In fact, they only succeeded when red hot shot that they were firing set fire to some combustible material in the top of the tower.
The klt contains a resin Martello tower plus gun and crew in white metal.
