Richard Hull
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Richard Hull of Leith Hill Place. For the British field marshal, see Richard Amyatt Hull.
Richard Hull of Leith Hill Place built Prospect House, later known as Leith Hill Tower, on the top of Leith Hill in 1765 or 1766, with the intention of raising the hill above 1,000 feet. When he died in 1772, at his request he was buried under the tower, upside down[citation needed] - and apparently on horseback[citation needed], according to Puckle - as he believed that on Judgement Day the world would be reversed[citation needed].
