Beckford's Tower and Museum

The Tower is an extraordinary building that stands today as the only surviving example of William Beckford’s great architectural achievements.

Beckford’s Tower has a significant library collection and archive about the restoration of the Tower building that is available to researchers by appointment. The library includes works by Beckford and books once owned by Beckford, as well as an extensive collection of publications related to Beckford’s writing, his architecture and his collection.
