In 1805 John Nash added these finials to the parapet of porticos that he designed for Witley Court in Worcestershire, England. At the time, Witley Court was one of the finest homes in the country. It had a manor house on site as early as Saxon times. Today Witley Court is still a Grade I listed building and was once one of the great houses of the Midlands.  Sadly, it was devastated by a fire in 1937.
