Throw back to our days in Ireland

 

The Maiden's Tower which stands 60 foot high was built during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I who came to the throne in 1558. It is suggested that from this association with the Virgin Queen it got its name and Sir William R. Wilde in his book "The Beauties of the Boyne ..." (1849) mentions this as a conjecture at that time.
