More about this scene
B;aise Castle was built as a folly by Thomas Farr, Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers. In 1765 Thomas had been a member of a delegation sent by the Merchant Venturers to deliver a petition against the renewal of the Sugar Act; the government intended to use it to make the American colonies pay for their own defence. The merchants' close links with the Americans made them realise the Act would harm relations and damage trade. They were right.
