Horton Tower
Horton Tower at 140 feet high (43 metres) was said to have once been the tallest non-religious building in Britain and is a classic example of a folly. This one was built in 1750 by architect and Lord of Horton Manor, Humphrey Sturt.
This grand and gothic five storey red brick tower, had fallen into a state of disrepair and had become not much more than a shell. In recent years, Vodafone has undertaken some restoration work as the tower now hosts mobile signal masts fixed to it’s sides.
