Cut Bench Mark on Market Tower, Lewes, Sussex. - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

This cut bench mark is on the right hand side of the entrance to Market Tower in Market St.
The Market Tower was erected in 1793, and the old town bell, "Gabriel" which is only rung on national occasions - as for instance, when peace was proclaimed at the end of the Great War, and on the occasion of a banquet on the Dripping Pan in celebration of the Coronation of Queen Victoria - was taken from one of the old churches (probably St Mary-in-the-Market, which stood at the top of Station street). The bell weighs 18 cwt., and bears the head and armorial bearings of Henry VIII
