- Cover photo description:
- King Alfred`s Tower is in the parish of Brewham, Somerset, England, although the tower itself is actually in Wiltshire. It overlooks Stourhead Garden at Stourton. nKing Alfred`s Tower, also known as The Folly of King Alfred the Great or Stourton Tower, is a folly tower.nHenry Hoare II planned the tower in the 1760s to commemorate the end of the Seven Years` War against France and the accession of King George III near the location of `Egbert`s Stone` where it is believed that Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, rallied the Saxons in May 878 before the important Battle of Edington. The tower was damaged by a plane in 1944 and restored in the 1980s.nThe 49-metre-high triangular tower has a hollow centre and is climbed by means of a spiral staircase in one of the corner projections. It includes a statue of King Alfred and dedication inscription.
