TQ5453 : Bird House, Knole Park, Kent

taken 18 years ago, near to Underriver, Kent, England

Bird House, Knole Park, Kent
Bird House, Knole Park, Kent
An octagonal structure built in the Gothic Revival style in 1761. According to the National Trust Website (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) ), this was built as a folly to ornament the parkland near Knole House. The arch through which the view is taken gives the appearance of being very old but is, itself, part of a set of fake ruins (also built in the 1760s) making up another folly.
