The leaning tower of Lynn
Five years ago, Greyfriars Tower featured heavily in the BBC Restoration programme as the regional finalist. It is (believed to be) the belltower of a 13th Century Franciscan Friary. I went looking for it and was surprised by what I found- it was much smaller than I expected and it is right next to a bingo hall.
There seems to have been much investment in the gardens, with the interest by the BBC paying off even though it didn’t win. Standing underneath the tower and looking up, I was surprised to be able to see the ceiling of the first level, the wooden floor having gone.
You can find more details and the poem of the title here
It is quite leany, isn’t it? - Or maybe it’s me at this time of night!
