Informations supplémentaires

Helen's Tower is a 19th-century folly on the Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. Designed by Scottish architect William Burn and completed in October 1861, it was built to provide employment to local people affected by the Great Famine of the 1840s. The tower was named in honour of Helen Selina Blackwood or Lady Dufferin, who born into a literary family, the poet Richard Brinsley Sheridan (her grandfather) was a noted song-writer and playwright.
