Lancaster Tower is all that remains of Fonthill Abbey built by William Thomas Beckford at Fonthill Gifford. Fonthill Abbey also known as Beckford’s Folly finally collapsed in 1822 and was demolished in 1845. It was built in the architectural style of gothic revival.
Now privately owned, the estate is occasionally open to the public to help raise money for charity.
I visited on such an open day to look at the remains of Fonthill Abbey and the surrounding gardens.
I hope you enjoy the video.
