Description

La Broadway Tower è una costruzione architettonica di tipo decorativo situata nei pressi di Broadway, nel Worcestershire e completata nel 1799.

Venne costruita in uno dei punti più alti delle colline dei Cotswolds, nell'Inghilterra sudoccidentale. La torre, alta circa 17 metri, fu progettata da James Wyatt per assomigliare a un castello, senza esserlo per davvero; fu costruita per Lady Coventry su una collina usata per segnalazioni a distanza e, in giornate particolarmente nitide, si possono vedere tredici contee dalla sua cima. Venne costruita perché Lady Coventry, moglie del conte George Williams, voleva sapere se fosse possibile vedere le sue tenute a Cotswold da casa sua a Croome Court; venne quindi acceso un faro in cima a Fish Hill la cui luce risultò visibile da Croome Court. Il conte fece quindi costruire la torre per celebrare l'evento. Per realizzarla venne incaricato l'architetto paesaggista Lancelot Brown, noto per i suoi giardini paesaggistici, ma morì nel 1783 e la torre fu progettata e completata principalmente da James Wyatt, e terminata nel 1799.
