The Watlington White Mark, Oxfordshire
The Watlington White Mark, Oxfordshire. The chalk scar was dug into Watlington Hill in 1764 to give the illusion that the town's church had a spire. Local squire Edward Horne designed the 82m shape so it appeared above the parish church of St Leonard when viewed from his house. Date: circa 1910s
