Two plaques above the entrance reveal the tower is dedicated to the priest, Harold Burden. He was a local man who was associated with the nearby Dower House and pioneered mental health care around a century ago. The second plaque is dedicated to Burden's second wife, Rosa, who also devoted much of her efforts to the cause. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4949806 for a wider view.
