It was built in 1784, by Thomas Sketchley of Anstey as a mock ruin.〔Stevenson, Joan & Squires, Anthony (1999) ''Bradgate Park: Childhood Home of Lady Jane Grey'', Kairos Press, ISBN 1-871344-23-9, p. 55〕 It was adapted in the 19th century by the seventh Earl of Stamford and Warrington to serve as an observation tower for the practice circuit he laid out for his horses, along with the building of a stable block lower down the hill.〔 It is well known for its "mug-shape" — there was a longer section of wall adjoining the tower after the 19th century extension but this reduced in size over the years leaving the present 'handle' shape.〔 The mug shape has given rise to false accounts of the tower's origins supposedly relating to a beer-loving miller who was killed after being hit by a pole during a bonfire.〔 In the past it has also been used as a meeting place for hunters with their fox hounds, and a luncheon house for shooting parties in the park.〔Stevenson, Aubrey (1977) ''Get to Know Bradgate'', Leicestershire County Council Libraries and Information Service, p. 17〕 Adjacent to the tower is a toposcope installed in 1953.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old John」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
