Cupola, Porters Park Mansion

Image: © Jim Osley Taken: 31 May 2013

Once the home architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, the building was much altered in 1902 to the designs of architect C.J. Harold Cooper. Grade II listed. Now divided into luxury homes. The initials CR visible on the rather ostentatious plaque refer to Charles Raphael, the owner of the house.
