About us
Built between 1826 and 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.
The Tower is open at weekends during the season, but plans to carry out vital conservation work and extend the museum offering to include the Tower’s landscape setting are being developed, thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Bath Preservation Trust owns and operates Beckford’s Tower and must also raise a considerable amount to fund this project – called ‘Our Tower’. You can read more about it HERE.
