Description

L'abbaye de Fonthill , aussi connu sous le nom de Beckford Folly, est une grande maison de campagne néo-gothique construite entre 1796 et 1813 à Fonthill Gifford dans le Wiltshire, en Angleterre, par l'écrivain William Thomas Beckford et l'architecte James Wyatt.

Beckford emménagea à Fonthill Abbey en 1807, alors qu'elle n'était pas terminée. Le bâtiment n'était pas confortable du tout : soixante feux étaient nécessaires pour garder la maison sèche, si ce n'est chaude ; la plupart des chambres étaient aussi nues que des cellules monastiques, treize étaient dépourvues de fenêtre.
