Folly To West Of Morland House

The folly to the west of Morland House is a garden structure built around 1860. It is one of a pair of towers created by George Baskcomb for his landscape garden, constructed using reject bricks sourced from the nearby Chislehurst Caves. The tower is designed in a Gothic style and features two storeys, with a circular exterior and an octagonal interior on the upper floor. It has four turrets that include lancet openings, conical stone caps, and stepped conical pendants. The first floor is adorned with a Romanesque style two-light window, while the ground floor has lancet openings and two Romanesque style arches supported by clustered columns. The interior is lined with Roman cement, although the roof and floor were missing at the time of the survey.
