Query #23 - Turner's Tower
15/07/1933
In the issue of the "Bath Chronicle and Herald" for July 10th you give a quotation referring this tower near Faulkland. It includes a statement to the effect that John Turner, a respected farmer of Hemington, erected the tower 1890. In your issue June 28th, 1930, on the other hand, you said "Known as Turner's Folly, it was constructed in the middle of the last century by an eminent local architect of that name." Can you, or any of your readers, dispel the atmosphere of doubt which seems to exist?—J. B., Bath.
