“While in Berkshire I saw an odd picture, not of a castle, but of an old English gentleman’s residence, which was truly castle-like in appearance, and which furnishes a happy suggestion to people who do not like to live long in any one place. It was a tun on wheels, and it had been used by an over-taxed and indignant democrat for the purpose of having no fixed locality, and so to avoid assessment.” Zigzag Journeys in Europe by Hezekiah Butterworth, 1880s. -- source link
