Description

The folly at Nerquis Hall is a late 18th century to early 19th century Gothic structure made of sandstone rubble. It features a two-storey half-round tower adorned with mock crenellated battlements. The tower includes a blind cross-loop and is flanked by similar key loops on the upper section. The lower part has a depressed-arched recess with a decorative quatrefoil and a square, open light above it. Round corner turrets on either side have matching cross-loops and are connected to the central tower by sections of wall that include depressed-arched openings with recessed squares above. There are string courses on the upper tower and turret sections, along with a continuous plain string course linking each section. The turret on the right and the upper wall sections are in ruins. The wall extends to the northeast behind the left turret and ends in another similar turret. The walls reach dado height, forming a rectangle behind the facade.
