Mistley tower Essex folly follies church churchyard architecture Robert Adam neoclassical style cupola unfluted Ionic columns decorative cornice

Mistley Towers are the twin towers of the now demolished Church of St. Mary the Virgin at Mistley in Essex. The original Georgian parish church on the site had been built in classical style early in the 18th century following the death of Richard Rigby Esquire. Later in that century there was a grandiose plan by his son, the wealthy politician Richard Rigby, to transform Mistley Thorn into a spa town. Rigby wished to see a church from the windows of his mansion and a suitably grand church was required for the affluent visitors expected to patronise the new spa. Thus in 1776, the great architect Robert Adam was commissioned to enhance the church. His design was in the neoclassical style, with a tower at both the east and the west ends of the church. These are now all that remain of the once magnificent structure. The square symmetrical towers are in the neoclassical style, resembling tall pavilions rather than towers, with each facade pedimented and the whole surmounted by a cupola decorated with blind windows interspersed by Ionic columns. At ground floor level two unfluted ionic columns at each corner support a decorative cornice. The columns are decorative only, and appear to serve no structural purpose. The design of the towers creates the impression that the building was once more of a miniature cathedral than a parish church. However, the main body of the church was small and occupied the (now empty) site between the two towers. It was a single story structure with a simple hipped r

Victorian water tower, Jumbo, a Colchester landmark, was opened in 1882, when it was known as Wick's folly, because it would not hold sufficient water for the needs of the town. It is the largest Victorian Water Tower in England. It was closed in 1984 when it was offered to the town council for a nominal sum - which was refused. It has since been the subject of planning applications and much controversy and is now beginning to look very dilapidated. The name Jumbo comes from the weathervane elephant. Seen here, the top of the tower and the Mercury statue on the corner of the Mercury Theatre.

Victorian water tower, Jumbo, a Colchester landmark, was opened in 1882, when it was known as Wick's folly, because it would not hold sufficient water for the needs of the town. It is the largest Victorian Water Tower in England. It was closed in 1984 when it was offered to the town council for a nominal sum - which was refused. It has since been the subject of planning applications and much controversy and is now beginning to look very dilapidated. The name Jumbo comes from the weathervane elephant.

The Cat House, Woolverstone, near Ipswich, Suffolk.

The house is now offices for a firm of architects.
