'''Lund's Tower''' is a stone-built [[folly]] situated to the south-west of the [[North Yorkshire]] village of [[Sutton-in-Craven]]. It is also known as '''Sutton Pinnacle''', the '''Ethel Tower''', the '''Jubilee Tower''' or, in conjunction with the nearby [[Wainman's Pinnacle]], the pair are referred to as the Salt and Pepper Pots.
It is listed in the [[National Heritage List for England]] at Grade II.{{r|nhlg}}
==History==
James Lund (1829–1903) commissioned the [[Keighley]] architectural firm of R. B. Broster & Sons to design the tower, which was built in 1887. Different reasons have been given for why Lund wanted the folly built: local residents refer to it as the Ethel Tower, believing it was constructed either to celebrate the birth of Lund's daughter Ethel – or her 21st birthday; others refer to it as the Jubilee Tower,  believing it commemorated the 1887 jubilee of [[Queen Victoria]]. It is also known as Sutton Pinnacle.{{r|Sutton}}{{sfnp|Keighley|2010|p=13|ps=}}
Lund was the son of William Lund, the owner of William Lund & Son, a large textile manufacturing business. In 1852, James Lund married Mary Sarah Spencer, the daughter of William Spencer, a wealthy landowner.{{r|Knowle}} The construction of Lund Mausoleum in Utley Cemetery, Keighley was also commissioned by Lund in 1895. [[Malsis Hall]] at [[Cross Hills]] and Ellerton Hall beside [[York]] were also owned by Lund.{{r|MMT}} A new Malsis Hall was built by him in 1862 and became [[Malsis School]] in 1920.{{r|School}}{{r|Manor}} When Lund died in January 1903, his estate totalled £606,679,{{r|Times}} equivalent to about £62,468,366 as of 2012.{{efn|Calculated using the Bank of England's UK price index.{{r|BOE}}}}
Set on the top of Earl Crag, Lund's Tower is in the same vicinity as [[Wainman's Pinnacle]], which is also Grade II listed but constructed in 1898 to commemorate the [[Napoleonic Wars]]. The pair of monuments are known locally as the Salt and Pepper Pots.{{r|Pendle}}{{r|Wainman}}
The tower received Grade II listing in the [[National Heritage List for England]] in October 1984 under the designation number 1131781.{{r|nhlg}}
==Architecture==
[[Crenellated]] battlements adorn the eleven-metre tall tower, which is constructed from squared-dressed stone. It has a plinth and an unreadable plaque. The interior has a stone built spiral staircase of thirty-nine steps. There is also a viewing platform.{{r|nhlg}}{{sfnp|Keighley|2010|p=13|ps=}}<ref>{{cite web | title= History of Local Buildings | url=http://www.suttonincravenpc.org.uk/history_ofbuildings.html|website=Sutton in Craven Parish Council|access-date=18 June 2018}}</ref>
