The heavy metal structure sits on a Grade II listed 18th century plinth in the yew octagon at Mottisfont Abbey, Hampshire, England. Mottisfont Abbey was founded as an Augustinian priory in 1201. When Maud & Gilbert Russell purchased Mottisfont in 1934, the buildings were in a state of disrepair. They modernised the house and estate, and it became a place for extravagant house parties held for their literary and artistic friends. Mottisfont is now a National Trust property. |
