Folly: 18th Century: C18: Salisbury: Stone Arched building: Public garden: Bourne Hill House: Wyndham House:
Description
A four-arched, conical-towered stone structure installed in the 18th century garden development of Bourne Hill House, in Salisbury. Now called Wyndham House it formerly housed Salisbury's Council offices.The garden is an attractive public park. Some have suggested the building may have originated in the Cathedral Close.
The gate and front wall of Folly House, Saffron Walden. Folly House is the modern building just through the gate. Satellite image shows the back garden is only marginally bigger than the house itself and has no buildings. The doorway in the stone wall has a plaque 'The Old Estate Office' with the number 11 as if this is now a seperate dwelling, though very small. It does appear to be in the grounds of Folly House and would seem that, with the wall and the building behind it so different, this is the folly that gives the house its name.
