Tiny little old crumbly folly on a hillside in some woods, lovely little place Has some cute features, id imagine as a rich person it must have been a lovely place to sit and enjoy the fresh air!
A sham chapel c 1763 which sits hidden in woodland in the grounds of a Hall. It was never a real chapel but was probably used as a summerhouse.
