Have the next one lined up though, so wouldn't have been the end of the world! I'll give you a clue if no one's figured it out over the weekend

I looked at as many piccies of the Restormel as possible and still couldn't find a spire like that. Though I may have just not seen good pictures of these places. Being a black and white photo, I was wondering if it was a spire that now no longer exists. Are there any famous historic sites in Cornwall that were badly damaged in WWII or by some natural disaster? (That would be a bugger to locate! )

Hen	Posted: 10.12.2005, 01:18
registered: Dec. 2005 Posts: 772 Status: offline last visit: 19.02.07	I couldn't find any Roberts' Folly at all. Though this is a piccy of Rogers' Tower. Is that the one you were thinking of Joe? Cause if it was, then it aint Rogers'! Can anyone identify what type of tiles are on the roof? Would they be copper or lead? Is there any other substance they could be formed from?

Rogers' Tower is up at Castle-an-Dinas and is the place in the pic from Hen. 18th century and on the site of an ancient hill fort. Well worth having a wander around there on a Sunday afternoon
