I was talking to a lady recently from Nurney but again she only knows it as the Pidgeon tower.Castlehunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225021319443029751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305522918435483160.post-26525848939734583742017-06-12T13:24:29.948+01:002017-06-12T13:24:29.948+01:00Looks similar construction to a tower just outside...Looks similar construction to a tower just outside Emo, located within the woods close to Emo Court. Like this tower, there is an older looking square base then an octagon in brick constructed on top. It meant to be a folly built by the Earl of Portarlington but it's known locally as the Temple, perhaps from Teampall which might indicate an older use. Did you ever find out anything more about building in Nurney?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853574408691989565noreply@blogger.com
