Description


SD 48 SE MILNTHORPE A6 (off East side)


3/1 St Anthony's Tower
approx.150 m East
of A6 North of
Milnthorpe

II

Folly in shape of Tower. Probably early C19 (recorded as in existence by
1832). Stone rubble with dressed stone corniced parapet. Circular plan. 2
storeys. 5 window openings, not glazed with roughly cut lintels and cills and
and doors approached by flight of external steps at first floor. Ground floor
has window opening to south and slit openings to remaining sides. Visible as
landscape feature from some considerable distance all round, notably from Dallam
Towers whose owner in 1832 prevented any further extension of the development
along Church Street in Milnthorpe so that his view of the folly from his house
was not obscured. Further information: CURWEN, J F History of Heversham with
Milnthorpe, pub. Titus Wilson 1930, p11.
