To test what they said was the perfect chimney, Paxton enlisted a Santa Claus in full padded outfit, a crane, a harness and winch to put the new chimney through its paces. The Santa-friendly formula looked at risk factors of chimney entry, the size of St Nick's waist versus the width of the chimney at its narrowest point. Obviously size was the key consideration to ensure Santa doesn't get stuck and so Paxton enlisted a mathematician to take on the challenge and save Santa from turning red-faced for all the wrong reasons. Paxton, founder and owner of the luxury holiday home Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds, couldn't ignore the small boy's concerns and so he came up with the idea of commissioning a special formula for the festive gift-bearing visitor. In childish scrawl the letter reads: Dear Mr Paxton, I am worried that my mummy's house does not have a big enough chimney. The little boy's parents are having a house custom built and when Leo viewed the plans he was concerned that the chimney wasn't big enough to accommodate Father Christmas.Īs he was penning his traditional letter to Santa, Leo decided to also write to the estate's owner, Jeremy Paxton, with a heartfelt plea for him to help out with the chimney problem.
