The Burden Tower
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 13 May 2016
This impressive tower was built by the Berkeley family, owners of nearby Stoke Park (Dower House) in honour of the Reverend Harold Nelson Burden. The popular priest gave much emphasis on care for those who were suffering from various mental health issues, especially children. Growing from this work, the area became a leading force in this area of health care for many years. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4949815 for a look at the plaques.
