Thanks guys. Keith, it's 9x5. There is a second room with more about the architect and Fonthill Abbey. It has a display in the middle of the room, else I would have taken a gigapan of that too.

Thanks for this GigaPan of the interior of Beckford's Tower. Some are mistaken when they call this Beckford's Folly because the actual Folly is Fonthill Abbey (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonthill_Abb ey
). A
GigaPan of Fonthill Abbey would be priceless today
although the Wikipedia article has a very fine
drawing of it. Not to take anything from this
GigaPan of Beckford's Tower, for those that
are interested in the period of time that William
Beckford lived and want to see something of
Fonthill Abbey, the link is: beckford.c18.net/rutterdelprelims.
