A sunny,peaceful November day

Ickornshaw..the Pepper Pot on the horizon. There are two follies built on top of the escarpment of Addingham Edge Grit between Cowling and Steeton, north Yorkshire. They are Wainman's Pinnacle and Lund's Tower. Wainman's Pinnacle ("Salt Pot") was erected by the Wainman family of Carr Head Hall to commemorate the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. The other monument is known as Lund's Tower and was built by Mr James Lund of Malsis Hall.Lund's Tower (also known as Sutton Pinnacle and perhaps more commonly as the "Pepper Pot") is thought to either have been built for his daughter or for Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
