Clavell Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clavell Tower is a folly built in 1830 by Rev. John Richards Clavell of Smedmore House. It lies on the Jurassic Coast, on the top of Hen Cliff just east of Kimmeridge Bay in the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England.
The tower is owned by The Landmark Trust who are in the process of having the tower moved 25 metres away from the crumbling cliff top and rebuilt to be suitable for letting. Work started on 5 September 2006 and the final stone was placed on the tower on Monday 25 February 2008 in a traditional topping-out ceremony.
