It stands immediately behind the sea wall. It has been designated by English Heritage as a scheduled monument[1] and a Grade II listed building.[2] The towers, ranging along the Kent and East Sussex shoreline, were built in the early years of the nineteenth century as part of a coastal defence programme against a threatened French invasion under Napoleon. The 24th of 75 such towers, it was placed to protect the gates of marsh sluices with its counterpart Tower no 25 (which is now largely derelict).[3] Tower 23 was restored externally in the early 1970s[4] and is currently a private residence. Tower 24 was then restored using Tower 23 as a guide. In 1969, it became the first Martello tower to be opened to the public and remains as a museum of the Martello Towers, owned by English Heritage.[5] It is currently open to the public between April and October.[5] It has a 24 pounder muzzle-loading cannon on the gun platform.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Martello tower no 24 at Dymchurch|url=https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1014626|website=Historic England|accessdate=6 February 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Martello Tower No 24, Dymchurch|url=https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1061124|website=Historic England|accessdate=6 February 2018}}. 3. ^1 {{cite web| title=DYMCHURCH MARTELLO TOWER, KENT|date=Aug 2004 |url=http://www.dymchurch.org/history/dymchurchmartellotower.pdf|format=pdf| publisher=www.dymchurch.org| accessdate=5 July 2014 }} 4. ^Sheila Sutcliffe {{Google books|b062YixS9s8C|Martello Towers|page=9}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Dymchurch Martello Tower| url= http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/dymchurch-martello-tower/|publisher=www.english-heritage.org.uk|accessdate=5 July 2014 }} External links
