What the charity does
The iconic much-loved 104 ft Faringdon Folly Tower was built on Folly Hill by Lord Berners in 1935, with magnificent 360 degree views across five counties, in the centre of a beautiful 4-acre circular woodland. Public Open Days are on Sundays from spring through to autumn, and very regularly, the Tower is also booked privately for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Faringdon Folly Tower Trust is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
