Romsey observatory design. Historical artwork of the 'Romsey' observatory at Austwick Hall,Yorkshire,UK. This design was developed around 1863 by the Reverend Edward Lyon Berthon (1813-1899),of Romsey,Hampshire,England. Intended to be constructed relatively cheaply and quickly from wood,it had a rotating canvas dome,and a transit room (background). An observatory (later demolished) was built in the garden at Austwick Hall by the amateur astronomer Thomas Richard Clapham (1837-1911).
