About this work

W. Russell Reeve painted Freston Tower in watercolour in 1941. It shows a tall, odd little building made just to catch the eye. Artists have drawn this tower for centuries. The tower is a folly. That means it was built for fun, not use. A novel from 1850 even made up a story about its past. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
