Description

Tooke's Folly at Pinner Hill Farm is a tower built in 1862, constructed from red, blue, and brown bricks, and features an ancillary barn to the south in a French style. The lower stage of the tower has a battered design with arcading beneath a projecting string course. The upper stage is adorned with plain pilasters, lancet windows, and a decorative panel on the north front. The roof is slate with swept hips, and there is a clock located on the north side. Decorative finials and cresting embellish the ridge of the tower.
