Horton Tower

Image: © Trevor Harris Taken: 4 Aug 2014

Built in about 1750 by local landowner and MP Humphrey Sturt as an observatory, or a spot to follow the hunt (when he was too old to ride to horse himself), or a folly - take your pick. It featured in the film Far From the Madding Crowd (1967).
