What is recorded here
Freestanding two-stage castellated folly tower, built c.1810. Erected on crest of hill to east of Busherstown House. Random coursed stone walls with corbels supporting castellated parapet. Pointed-arched openings with tooled stone surrounds.
Standing on elevated ground, Busherstown Tower can be viewed and enjoyed from quite a distance. On a more intimate level, the folly’s alignment with the southern wing of Busherstown House allows it to create a pleasant vista from the drawing room window of the country house. The tower’s crenellated parapet reflects the castellated Gothic Revival design of its neighbouring residence, and together, both structures express a continuity of style.
