Description
The Ruined Arch was designed as a mock Roman ruin by Sir William Chambers. It was built in 1759-60. Such follies were very fashionable during the 18th century as ornamental garden features. This folly however also served a practical purpose in carrying a carriage-way across what is now Kew Road. The arch has deteriorated over the centuries and is now more ruinous than when it was built.
