That's pretty much what an Approved Seaward KD1E HV tester consists of: chain of potted resistors and a neon visible through a window. Except the Seaward tester has to be earthed.

A long time ago I once saw that our DNO (NORWEB back then) used a neon HV tester on V/T circuit spouts that DIDN'T need to be earthed.
