Welcome to the Official Website of the Volta Tower...
This website is in dedication of a gem lost not only to Finedon, but to a country. This impressive landmark was built in 1865 by William Mackworth-Dolben as a memorial to his son, William Digby whose life was lost at sea. A well-known folly throughout, this striking tower stood for 86 years until it's unexpected collapse in November 1951, claiming the life of the lady who resided there with her husband; Mrs. Florence Northen, aged 67.
This site is not only dedicated to the ongoing memory and beauty of this building, but also to the loving memory of Mrs. Florence Northen; 1884-1951.
Please feel free to look around the site and learn about this fascinating building. Take a look at the variety of memorabilia and photos. If you have any questions or feedback about the site, please either fill in the contact form or contact me directly at:
