commentary: |
Perhaps the first tall mass concrete structure in England. 215ft high, 18ft
square. Built by Judge A A T Petetrsen, retired from the Indian Legal Service,
persuade by his experience in a seance when one of his workmen contacted Sir
Christopher Wren. Wren gave further design instructions in later
seances. |
