The final stop on Rory’s journey, Faringdon Tower introduces us to one of the 20th Century’s greatest eccentrics: Lord Berners. Although it was only built to save a small patch of woodland that Berners liked, Faringdon has become a much-cherished local landmark. In this episode, Rory dives into the roaring twenties and investigates not only how the tower has made its way in the hearts of the local population, but also the mind of one of England’s greatest authors: J.R.R. Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings.
