DescriptionGoblin Tower on the City Walls - geograph.org.uk - 562240.jpg |
English: Goblin Tower on the City Walls A close-up of the Goblin Tower, which is also known as Pemberton's Parlour after the 18th century Mayor of Chester, John Pemberton. Pemberton used this sheltered vantage point to watch over his workmen on the rope walk below. This area of the city walls was badly damaged during the English Civil War and the large inscribed stone records the repairs that were made around the year 1700. The stone is now too weathered for the top lines to be read, however, a full transcription is available on the website: http://www.bwpics.co.uk/martins.html
"IN THE 7th YEAR OF THE GLORIOUS REIGN OF QUEEN ANNE, DIVERS LARGE BREACHES IN THESE WALLS WERE REBUILT AND OTHER DECAYS THEREIN REPAIRED.
