Wright's, Observatory / Folly : Westerton, Spennymoor, Durham, Great Britain
The Tower is a circular structure, in a Gothick rvival style of the 18th century. Built as an Observatory by Thomas Wright (1711-1786) of nearby Byres Green. He was a Mathematician, astronomer, (famous for his explanation of the Milky Way) , architect, and garden designer. The Observatory appears in a document of 1744, but does not appear to have been completed until after Wright's death in 1796. A plaque dated 1950 was erected to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his publication "The Original Theory of the Universe" of 1850.
