- The_Tower_House abstract "For the house of the same name in Leicestershire, see The Tower House, Lubenham.The Tower House at 29 Melbury Road (originally 9 Melbury Road) is a late Victorian townhouse in London's Holland Park district of Kensington and Chelsea built for himself between 1875–81 by the architect and designer William Burges. Designed in the French Gothic Revival style, it was designated a Grade I listed building on 29 July 1949.Burges purchased the plot of land in 1875, and the house was largely complete by 1878, with construction undertaken by the Ashby Brothers, and interior decoration by the likes of sculptor Thomas Nicholls and artist Henry Stacy Marks. Decoration of the house, together with the designing of innumerable items of furniture and metalwork, continued until Burges's early death in 1881. The house was inherited by his brother in law, Richard Popplewell Pullan, who completed some of Burges's unfinished projects. It was then bought by Colonel T. H. Minshall, the father of Merlin Minshall, and later sold to Colonel E.R.B. Graham in 1933. The poet John Betjeman acquired the property in 1962. Following a period of neglect and decay, it underwent restoration under the ownership, firstly, of the actor Richard Harris and, latterly, of the guitarist Jimmy Page.Burges described the house as a "model residence of the thirteenth century". The architectural scholar, and authority on Burges, J. Mordaunt Crook, considered the house to be "the most complete example of a medieval secular interior produced by the Gothic Revival and the last" and the "synthesis of [Burges's] career and a glittering tribute to his achievement." The exterior and the interior of the Tower House echo elements of Burges's earlier work, including the McConnochie House, Castell Coch and Cardiff Castle. The house is built in red brick, with Bath stone dressings and green slates from Cumberland, with a distinctive cylindrical tower and conical roof, influenced by Castell Coch. The ground floor contains a drawing room, a dining room and a library, while the first floor has two bedroom suites and an armoury.The Tower House retains much of its internal structural decoration, but much of the furniture and most of the fittings and contents that Burges designed have been dispersed. Many, including the Great Bookcase, the Zodiac settle, The Golden Bed and the Red Bed, now form part of museum collections, including those of The Higgins Art Gallery & Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Others are held in private collections.".
