Braystone Tower, Lowside Quarter, Cumbria

Braystone Tower is a prominent landmark from both the countryside around and the sea. It was put up to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The original commemorative tablet records the names of the local worthies who were present at its unveiling in June 1897. It also became a First World War memorial in 1920 when another tablet was added that records the names of those men of Braystone who served in the Great War.
