Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Abbey Church of St. Peter, Westminster, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Notices and Biographical Memoirs of the Abbots and Deans of That Foundation The high respect which has accompanied the names of Pericles and Augustus in their descent to posterity, is due as much to the Protection given to the Arts by those Princes, as to their political and military renown. Succeeding ages regard, with grateful admiration, the Sovereigns who have fostered Genius, and under the sanction of whom those Works of unrivalled talent have been produced which transmit, and ennoble, the History of Countries now become the scenes of bondage and decay. Dynasties may cease, and a People themselves be destroyed, but the celebrity acquired by the patronage and cultivation of the Arts will exist till the latest period of Time. The Work which I have now the Honour of dedicating to your Majesty, is intended to illustrate the Abbey Church of Westminster: a structure alike venerable from its age, architecture, and sculpture; and from being the sacred Repository in which, together with the ashes of her Sovereigns, a grateful Nation has entombed the remains of those of her Sons who have been most distinguished for extending and confirming her Glories, her Religion, and her Laws. With the most lively sense of the gracious favour conferred by your Majesty, in granting to this Work the honour of your Illustrious Patronage, the Author unites in every wish that can tend to the Glory and Prosperity of Britain, and render her as great in Arts under the cherishing Influence of your Majesty, as she has already become Renowned in Arms.

Fonthill, in Wiltshire, is traditionally associated with the writer and collector William Beckford who built his Gothic fantasy house called Fonthill Abbey at the end of the eighteenth century. The collapse of the Abbey’s tower in 1825 transformed the name Fonthill into a symbol for overarching ambition and folly, a sublime ruin. Fonthill is, however, much more than the story of one man’s excesses. Beckford’s Abbey is only one of several important houses to be built on the estate since the early sixteenth century, all of them eventually consumed by fire or deliberately demolished, and all of them oddly forgotten by historians. Little now remains: a tower, a stable block, a kitchen range, some dressed stone, an indentation in a field. Fonthill Recovered draws on histories of art and architecture, politics and economics to explore the rich cultural history of this famous Wiltshire estate. The first half of the book traces the occupation of Fonthill from the Bronze Age to the twenty-first century. Some of the owners surpassed Beckford in terms of their wealth, their collections, their political power and even, in one case, their sexual misdemeanours. They include Charles I’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the richest commoner in the nineteenth century. The second half of the book consists of essays on specific topics, filling out such crucial areas as the complex history of the designed landscape, the sources of the Beckfords’ wealth and their collections, and one essay that features the most recent appearance of the Abbey in a video game.
