Description: | View of Kingsgate Castle on the Isle of Thanet. As this print shows, it is situated in an impressive position on a cliff top. However this it not a really castle, it is a folly built in the 18th century by Lord Holland, father of Charles Fox in c.1762-8. Initially he had Holland House built, and then surrounded it with huge follies, built of flint. One was a stable block, built in the guise of a ruined castle from the period of Edward I. Another was a ruin in the style of a coastal fort of Henry VIII. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Basire, J. | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
