What is recorded here
Detached square-plan single-bay three-stage ornamental tower with base batter and D-plan single-bay two-storey entrance bay with bartizan, built c.1840. Castellated parapets. Rubble stone walls. Pointed arch door opening. Pointed arch window openings.
Set on a rocky outcrop, this folly is an interesting addition to the surrounding landscape. Set in the Raleigh House demesne, it was designed as an eye catcher and pleasure building. It is a reminder of the former wealth and grandeur of the estate in the past, and together with the main house, outbuildings and gate lodge forms part of a significant group.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
