The Oast House Cowl.

Late Monday afternoon a crane will be arriving to lower a vent onto the tower of The Oast House. It arrived early this week and we just can't wait to get it up. It will be illuminated and will act almost as a beacon on top of the ancient looking building.
Traditionally this vent is called a Cowl and is a device used on a kiln to keep the weather out of, and induce a flow of air through, the kiln. They are associated with Oast Houses but can also be found on breweries.
