In reply to Christine Upton. Thank you Christine. The tower has the most fascinating history - such a shame it was allowed to collapse.

In reply to TOM GARDNER. Hello Tom. It is sad that there seem to have been plans to care for the tower which then fell through. It has such a fascinating history.

TOM (USA)
ONCE AGAIN, VIA YOUR ENDEAVORS, WITH THE AID OF FELLOW ‘HUNTERS’, THE PAST HISTORY OF YOUR BELOVED COUNTRYSIDE … COMES ALIVE.
IN TODAY’S WORLD, IT’S PERHAPS A SAD COMMENTARY, THAT WE (HUMANS), STILL FIND IT NECESSARY TO NOT RESPECT OUR PAST, AND WORSE YET ….
NOT LEARN FROM … PAST ERRORS.
BUT THEN AGAIN … ‘HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!’
CHEERS,
TOM

In reply to Sally. Hello Sally. I do like your idea of ‘celebrating’ our least favourite politicians in the smallest room. As you say, we are spoilt for choice.

Poor Thomas Mortimer – he sounds a very worthy man who led an intense & rather sad life.
Perhaps we should revive the practice of “commemorating “ loathed politicians in a designated wc in our houses (if a spare one is available)? The conundrum would be who to choose from so many ….
