Description
A little known folly in the Cumbrian hamlet of Stennerskeugh. It is in the grounds of Hwith House which was built by John Hewetson in 1868 and demolished in 1927. A modern house now stands in its place. The house got its unusual name from the first letter of the christian names of Hewetson's five sons. The folly is behind a high stone wall opposite an entrance to the garden, facing the road. Grid ref 74200140.
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.

Description
Mistley Towers are the twin towers of the now demolished Church of St. Mary the Virgin at Mistley in Essex. The original Georgian parish church on the site had been built in classical style early in the 18th century following the death of Richard Rigby Esquire. Later in that century there was a grandiose plan by his son, the wealthy politician Richard Rigby, to transform Mistley Thorn into a spa town. Rigby wished to see a church from the windows of his mansion and a suitably grand church was required for the affluent visitors expected to patronise the new spa. Thus in 1776, the great architect Robert Adam was commissioned to enhance the church. His design was in the neoclassical style, with a tower at both the east and the west ends of the church. These are now all that remain of the once magnificent structure. The square symmetrical towers are in the neoclassical style, resembling tall pavilions rather than towers, with each facade pedimented and the whole surmounted by a cupola decorated with blind windows interspersed by Ionic columns. At ground floor level two unfluted ionic columns at each corner support a decorative cornice. The columns are decorative only, and appear to serve no structural purpose. The design of the towers creates the impression that the building was once more of a miniature cathedral than a parish church. However, the main body of the church was small and occupied the (now empty) site between the two towers. It was a single story structure with a simple hipped r
The Hiorne Tower near Arundel in West Sussex. The tower was built for the Duke of Norfolk (C18) by Francis Hiorne in order to demonstrate his ability to the Duke ahead of the renovation of the nearby Arundel Castle.
