The Sanctuary, Lansdown Tower, 1845. Interior of an architectural folly built for British art collector William Beckford near Bath, Somerset. It was designed by Henry Goodridge. The house and contents were auctioned after Beckford's death in 1844. '...the Sanctuary, which has an air of mystic gloom and magnificence; the colours are crimson and oak; and the semicircular spaces above the doorways are filled with paintings. In this apartment are partly shown two fine ebony cabinets; and, in one of the arched recesses is a full-length statue, in marble, of St. Anthony of Padua, with the Infant Saviour, finely executed by Rossi...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
