Folly near Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire

[ashless]

Phone call from Fezzyben for a nice relaxed wander, went to this place next to Sudbury Hall.
There's nothing inside it with it being a folly but it's a nice thing to look at on a sunday evening! I have no idea how old it is, who built it or what any plans for it are.......google is not being forthcoming!

Fezzyben, new tripod's first outing!

the history behind this building is at sudbury hall it was built by the owners of sudbury hall like a lot of the village was it was used as a dear house when it was reining but if it is true it was never finished IE never had a roof put on so it would never have kept them dears dry would it!! not shore when it was built but you could find out abit more if you go to the national trust website even though they do not own it unlike sudbury hall witch they do own. hope this has been of some use sorry for not knowing all info wanted.

Yep,it was used for herding deer and used as a type of corale,built by the Vernon family who still own most of the ground round there.
New to here and amazed at the amount of interesting buildings etc in my area on the site,i drive past the pill box's on Marston lane every day and used to live near the "abandoned" garage in gresley.
Great stuff!!!
