Dist:0.4km<br/>Folly or Memorial at the western end of Earl Crag, acting as a counter balance to Lund's Tower at the eastern end - although originally it stood alone for roughly 80 years being the more ancient structure of the two. It was extensively repaired towards the end of the 19th century. Believed to celebrate the victory at Waterloo, and commissioned by the local Wainman family.
