	Machynlleth Clocktower, follies and folly towers at follytowers.com
		The ancient capital of Wales was once Machynlleth, and in the immortal words of the actor Michael Caine, "not-a-lot of people know that", well I certainly didn't until I looked into the history of the town and its magnificent clock tower.
		He then held his parliament in the town, thus allowing Machynlleth to lay claim to being the ancient capital.
		It is documented that in 1873 - the same year as the clock was constructed - the Marquess owned 10,084 acres of land, yet as far as I can ascertain it was the people of the town who paid for its construction.
