Fonthill Abbey, Beckford, follies and folly towers at follytowers.com (original) (raw)

Fonthill Abbey looking from an elevated mainly westerly position.

On the left (North) is the 'Lancaster Turret' and the 'Sanctuary' (3 windows)
with the small semi-circular 'Oratory' at far left.

(The 'Lancaster Turret' and the 'Sanctuary' are in fact the only parts remaining.)

This is joined to the main tower by 'St Edward's Gallery' (area with 6 windows)

To the rear can be seen the big twin turrets above the 'The Grand Drawing Room'.
This wing also contains the 'Great Dining Room', the 'Crimson Drawing Room',
and the 'Crimson Breakfast Parlour'

To the far right you have the two smaller turrets belonging to
the 'Yellow Withdrawing rooms', and the southern and front cloisters.

Facing you is the main western entrance, with its giant doors.
This lead into 'The Great Western Hall'.
