Built between 1826 & 1827, Beckford’s Tower is an extraordinary building that was once home to one of the greatest collections of books, furniture and art in Georgian England and now stands as the only surviving example of William Beckford’s great architectural achievements.
Beckford’s Tower was added to the National “at risk” register in October 2019 and received confirmation of development funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund a few weeks later.
