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.

In 1872, George Woodhouse designed the mill for owner William Bliss, who built this wonderful mill on the site of the original, destroyed in a fire. It was built to resmble a stately home within it's own grounds. Known locally, for obvious reasons, as the toilet, or sink, plunger, it has recently been converted in luxury appartments. Bliss was known as a kind and thoughtful employer, refusing to allow children to work, or women during the chill winter months.

Folly follies brewers Reading Georgian

The Folly dates from the early nineteenth century, but is thought to be a remodelling of an earlier, possibly Georgian house, by the Fergusons, who were Reading brewers. There are bricks dated in the 1750s and 60s, and the stamp 18 WHF 05 [or 09] set in the gable wall. However, the building in its present form probably dates from between 1820 and 1840. Inside, the doors, skirting boards, shutters and staircase are all original.

In Faringdon the town's landmark folly is a 140ft tower, which dominates a mound half a mile east of the town. The mound was known for centuries as Folly Hill despite being Folly less. Until Lord Berners in 1935 decided to rectify the problem. "The great point of this tower is that it will be entirely useless". He is supposed to have said. Architect friend, Lord Gerald Wellesley. Lord Berners went on holiday. On his return instead of the Gothic one-off he had envisaged was a more modest and sober looking tower. With just the top of the tower, still to be finished, Lord Berners insisted on Gothic flourishes. An octagonal room and mock battlements were added. It was the last major folly to be built in England Faringdon Oxfordshire, UK 20 miles SW of Oxford 12 miles NE of Swindon
