Description
Lord Berner's Folly is a tall brick tower built in 1935 by Lord Gerald Wellesley for Lord Berners of Faringdon House. The tower stands 140 feet high and has a square plan made of plain Fletton brick. It was originally intended to be whitewashed, but features a red brick upper stage with three round arched windows with glazing bars on each face, showcasing intersecting tracery. The tower is topped with an octagonal crown that has stone coping and crenellations at the corners, each adorned with short stone pinnacles. The structure was featured in the Architectural Review in 1936.
