Ormond College at the Uni of Melbourne is fundraising to restore “our iconic tower.” Apparently, “weather and age is taking its toll on this iconic part of our beautiful home and we need your help.”

Just as Ormond did in 2016, when it raised funds to restore “the beloved Picken Lawn,” which was “tired and worn from years of heavy use” (CMM August 26 2016).  And again in 2019 when gables were eroded, and (heaven forfend) gablets cracked! (CMM June 3 2019). And now the tower obviously needs to be saved, presumably so people can climb it to see Brideshead.
