| Description: Column with a viewing platform. The upper part of the structure is not safe and it cannot be entered. Commission: Charles, 2nd Marquis of Rockingham. Named after Admiral Keppel, a friend of Rockingham's, to commemorate his acquittal after a court-martial. One of the follies on the Wentworth estate. Comment: This view of the column from the middle of a small housing development is slightly surreal. |
