Description
Horton Tower near Chalbury Common is also known as Sturt's Folly. It was built in 1750 by Humphrey Sturt and stands 140 feet high perhaps as a hunting tower or an observatory. The tower is now used as a mobile phone mast by Vodafone and has radio antennae attached at the top, but don't expect to get a signal on your mobile.
This book gives a lovingly compiled
comprehensive account of standing stones and
other sites in Dorset, covering both famous stones such as the Hellstone to
lesser known sites such as Knowlton...
