Exploring Faringdon Folly | A Visit to Lord Berners’ Magical Tower

Exploring Faringdon Folly | A Visit to Lord Berners’ Magical Tower Join me on a whimsical journey to **Faringdon Folly**, a truly enchanting landmark nestled in the Oxfordshire countryside. Built in 1935 by the eccentric and brilliant **Lord Berners**—composer, writer, and one of Britain’s great LGBTQ+ figures—this 100ft tower was created as a gift for his partner, **Robert Heber-Percy**, affectionately known as “the mad boy.” Lord Berners was known for his wit, flamboyance, and refusal to conform—dyeing pigeons pastel colours, hosting surrealist parties, and embracing life on his own beautifully eccentric terms. Visiting a place dreamed up by one of my heroes, and dedicated to someone he loved, was genuinely magical. I could almost feel his spirit in the air—cheeky, romantic, and utterly unique.
