has abstract	Bookers Tower is a Grade II listed four-storey octagonal tower built in the 19th century, in the Gothic style. It is in Guildford, Surrey, and can be found along Beech Lane, behind the Mount Cemetery (resting place of Lewis Carroll). Built on high ground to the west of Guildford town centre, it was commissioned by the then mayor of Guildford, Charles Booker in memory of his sons, Charles and Henry, who had both died at the age of 15, and was completed in 1839. After its completion it was used to commemorate Queen Victoria's marriage to Albert, in 1840. In later years Bookers Tower was used by the Victorian scientist, John Rand Capron, in experiments involving lightning. In World War II it was used an air raid observation post. The tower is not open to the public. (en) De Booker's Tower is een monumentale achthoekige toren met vier verdiepingen, gebouwd in de 19e eeuw in gotische stijl. Het bevindt zich in Guildford (Engeland) en staat achter de begraafplaats Mount Cemetery, de rustplaats van onder meer Lewis Carroll en Edward Carpenter. Charles Booker, de toenmalige burgemeester van Guildford, liet de toren bouwen. Dit deed hij ter nagedachtenis van zijn zonen Charles en Henry, die beiden op 15-jarige leeftijd waren overleden. De toren, die ten westen van het stadscentrum werd gebouwd, werd in 1839 voltooid. Een jaar later werd het gebruikt om het huwelijk van koningin Victoria met Albert te vieren. In latere jaren gebuikte de Victoriaanse wetenschapper en astronoom John Rand Capron de toren bij experimenten met bliksem. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog diende het als observatiepost voor luchtaanvallen. De toren is niet toegankelijk voor publiek. (nl)
