Description
This folly, located approximately 15 meters southwest of The Rectory, dates from the early 19th century and incorporates medieval masonry. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features an irregular L-shaped section of wall. Notable elements include the head of a 3-light window with Y-tracery, cusping, and carved label stops. There are also various fragments of carved masonry integrated into the wall to the right of the window head. The structure was likely built by Reverend Roberts around 1823, using materials from All Saints Church, now known as All Saints Chancel. This folly is included for its group value.
