Out walking one day and came across Islington, one of the original big homes on the Taieri. A hedge is a fence, yes, no? ...
At first I thought that this was a steeple that had lost its church. A might tall memorial, William Cargill must have been an important man. Thanks Diana for sharing this week and I hope to see more kiwi treasures in the future.

ReplyDeleteVery much like a steeple that missed being placed up high. Is that a fountain basin at the base?
ReplyDeleteYes, though they are not in use. Drinking fountains were included in the original design.

ReplyDeleteI love all the intricate sculpture on the memorial monument. It seems like I saw one similar to this in Oxford. It looks like you can go inside. I bet that would be interesting.
