What is recorded here

Detached three-stage red brick crenellated tower, built c. 1850, as folly. Roofless. Red brick walling, crenellations originally rendered. Flat-arched window opening to third stage west and south elevations, loop window to second stage west elevation. Flat-arched door opening to west, door missing. Located on a height overlooking Black Hall and surrounding countryside.

This interesting folly dominates the countryside for many miles by virtue of its elevated position. Built by the Pentland family of Black Hall, apparently for an artist son of the family. Neglected in recent years, it continues to fulfill its original function as an eye-catcher.
