The Tower's Colourful Past
Built on an ancient beacon site, Broadway Tower has a colourful
history as - amongst others - home to the renowned printing press of Sir Thomas
Phillips, country retreat for Pre-Raphaelite artists, notably the artist,
designer, writer, craftsman, and socialist William Morris, location for the
studies of the distinguished archeologist Sir Arthur Evans, and farmhouse.
Today the Tower houses exhibitions connected with its past and the
surrounding area. There is a fully illustrated guidebook to Broadway Tower
Country Park available (containg a view - indicator for use from the top of the
Tower).
