Racton Folly lies close to the village of Funtington in West Sussex, on the Stansted Estateis thought to have been completed in 1772.Its original purpose is uncertain, but it might have been intended as a summerhouse to complement the main Stansted House or alternative possibility is that it was built by the then owner so that he could see his trading ships berth at Emsworth Port

Description
Mistley Towers, along the River Stour Estuary about a mile from Manningtree, have been a tourist attraction for many years. They were built in 1776 as an extension to Mistley Thorn Church, which was built in 1735 and demolished around 1870 when the present church was built.
The gatehouse, Penrice Castle, Gower Peninsula, Swansea, South Wales, built as an extravagant Gothic folly in the 1790s to have the appearance of a ruined castle.
The well, together with a cottage and orchard, were gifted to the village of Stoke Row by His highness, Ishree, Maharajah of Benares. The act was in repayment for previous kindness by Mr Edward Anderden Reade of nearby Ipsden, who worked and lived in India for 34 years and was Governor, North West provinces. One of Mr reade's many acts there was to sink a well in 1831 to aid a local community in Azimurgh.
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.
