Freston Tower is a six-story red brick folly south of Ipswich, Suffolk in the village of Freston. It stands on the banks of the River Orwell. Arguably the oldest folly in England, the tower has various claims for construction dates, ranging from the 15th to 17th centuries. Landmark Trust, a historical building preservation charity and the current owner of Freston Tower, suggests the tower “was built in 1578 by a wealthy Ipswich merchant called Thomas Gooding”.
