Dupath Holy Well was probably built by the Monks of St Germans about 1510, and is belived to be the largest and best of its kind in Cornwall. It would have served as a baptistry and oratory and contains the remains of a simple bath for the purposes of immersion. A tradition persists that this Holy Well is located close to a chapel dedicated to St Ethelred, which was licensed in 1405. An ancient and romantic legend states that the site of this well house was chosen as being the place where two Saxon chieftains fought a famous duel to the death.

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.

Folly Gates, Brookmans Park, N Mimms, Hertfordshire. The arch now stands at the junction of Swanley Bar and Hawkshead Road at the southern end of Brookmans Park/Gobions Estate. Even at close range large, well established, trees make it only visible from almost directly in front. There is no access into the estate and many more trees mean the arch is no longer visible from the village.

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
