Brick tower (also known as Stourton Tower), at the north-western edge of the Stourhead Estate in Wiltshire. The banker Henry Hoare II (1705-1785), owner of Stourhead and creator of its famous garden, conceived the tower in 1762. Although the tower commemorates the battle of Ethandun in May 878, where the Saxon King Alfred the Great defeated the Danish army, it is believed that it was built in recognition of the end of the Seven Years War against France and the accession of King George III. The designer of the tower was Henry Flitcroft, the notable 18th century Palladian architect, and and is said to have been inspired by St Mark's Tower in Venice. Building took place between 1769 and 1772 and cost an estimated £5,000. The tower is 49m (160ft) high, and triangular, with round projections at each of the three corners. Witin one is a spiral staircase holding 205 steps to the top, where there is a platform with a crenellated parapet. The tower is constructed of red brick, with walls 84cm (2ft 9in) thick with and bricks set in a Flemish Bond (alternating header-stretcher-header-stretcher). Above the front door stands a statue of King Alfred, and a stone panel bearing an inscription.

A local consortium created and ran these gardens from 1834. They were renamed in 1846 as The Jephson Gardens in honour of Dr Henry Jephson who had helped to promote the healing properties of the town's spa waters and built houses for the town's poor residents. The Corinthian-style temple, seen on the right, was erected in 1849 as a memorial Jephson. it contains a large marble statue of the doctor. The obleisk on the left was erected in 1875 as a memorial to Edward Willes, the local landowner who originally leased the land for the gardens to a local consortium in 1834.
