Description

A landscape which will be winging it's way to the beautiful U.S.Not the greatest landscape you'll ever see, not too happy with it and I gave up trying to get a good photo of it so here it is in all it's unphotoshopped glory. Got an interesting history though. It's the view of the tower out of the window of the sister of the woman who is in the U.S. It's the tower on the estate of a man who it's said used it to keep an eye on his workers, when the local church was being built he didn't let them put a clock on the tower facing his land as he didn't want his workers knowing what the time was. He had a dispute with lodgers on his estate so he went and burned them out of their homes he was renting to them!!
Lovely guy. His house was enormous, I've seen the photos, it had a window for ever day of the year. On the house was a bust of some PM who had visited, but when this PM voted for home-rule he had the bust painted black.
In the end what did for him and his estate was gambling, he lost it all and his heirs now live in Canada.
