About Fencing in Faringdon
Faringdon in Oxfordshire has been an important hilltop site since long before recorded history, with an Iron Age hillfort once crowning what is still known as Folly Hill, and Alfred the Great later built a castle on the same spot in the 9th century. During the Civil War the town was occupied by Royalist supporters of Charles I, and Parliamentarian forces set up cannon on Folly Hill to bombard the town, aiming for the steeple of All Saints Church in the hope it would collapse onto the Royalist position below. The hill takes its enduring name from the 100 foot tower built there in 1935 by Lord Berners of Faringdon House, widely regarded as the last folly intentionally built in England and still offering views across five counties on a clear day.
