The Vandalian Tower Ruins on Tower Hill. Ruins and viewpoint east of the house. It stands in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, yet its roots lie in America. The historical folly dates back to the 18th century. It was constructed to commemorate the British colony of Vandalia, a colony that eventually disappeared as the American colonies evolved. The Vandalian Tower is situated on the summit of Tower Hill and serves as a fascinating relic of the past. This folly, with its unique design and historical significance, adds a distinctive charm to the landscape.
