Full Description
1998. Visit.
Folly tower, by the same hand as the Hall (2457) and therefore presumably of 1881 when park laid out, rather than 1840 as stated in (S2). High quality and containing large quantities of medieval masonry, arches, carvings etcetera from elsewhere. Includes underground boathouse.
Attached on south is a roofless building with apparently genuine medieval brick arch, which may be a medieval building perhaps associated with the manor house.
(S3) in file.
E. Rose (NLA), 20 November 1998.
