  • 贝克福德塔(Beckford's Tower)最初称为兰斯当塔(Lansdown Tower)",是一座新古典主义建筑,就在英格兰萨默塞特郡巴斯城外的兰斯当山(Lansdown Hill)上。塔楼及栏杆列为I级登录建筑,并且与毗邻的兰斯当公墓一起,列入国家历史公园和花园名录。 这座塔是为威廉·托马斯·贝克福德(WilliamThomasBeckford)建造的,他是一位富有的小说家、收藏家和艺术评论家,设计者是亨利·古德里奇(Henry Goodridge),完成于1827年。贝克福德将它用作图书馆和休闲场所,顶部的穹顶作为观景楼,可欣赏周围乡村的美景。位于塔楼底部的意大利建筑设有客厅和图书馆。贝克福德在兰斯当新月(Lansdown Crescent)的房子与塔楼之间的广阔空间,布置了景观和绿化。 威廉·贝克福德有能力建造和收藏,是因为他继承的财富,并作为种植园和奴隶主继续积累,以及他在废除奴隶制后从政府获得的赔偿。贝克福德塔博物馆的展品探索了他生活的这一方面。 (zh)
