Sweets in Faringdon: England's Last Folly Tower

Faringdon has a population of around 7,100 (2021 census), and a landmark on the hill above it that's often called the last of its kind ever built in England.

England's Last Folly Tower

On Folly Hill above Faringdon stands Faringdon Folly, built in 1935 by the eccentric composer and writer Lord Berners — often cited as the last folly tower built in England. Berners was notorious locally for his eccentricities at nearby Faringdon House, and the tower he left behind is now a well-known local landmark, occasionally open to the public.

What that history doesn't leave behind

This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.

Why Faringdon shoppers order online anyway

For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than relying on what's in stock locally. Faringdon shoppers might otherwise travel to Swindon or Oxford for a wider choice, but delivery covers the same ground without the drive.
