    • Keith,

      Wimpole's FollyΒ is aΒ follyΒ ruin located on the grounds ofΒ Wimpole Hall, in theΒ parish of Wimpole, inΒ Cambridgeshire,Β England.

      The folly is designed to resemble the ruins of a medieval castle. It was built on the grounds of Wimpole Hall in the mid-1770s at the order ofΒ Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke, the then owner ofΒ Wimpole Hall.
      TheΒ Earl of HardwickeΒ commissionedΒ Sanderson MillerΒ (the noted follies architect of the day) to design the folly in 1751, to then have it later built byΒ Capability BrownΒ in 1769. The folly is Grade II* listed on theΒ National Heritage List for England.

      The ruins are substantially built and stretch for two hundred feet in length, and include a four-storeyΒ GothicΒ tower.
      They, and Wimpole Hall, are currently owned by theΒ National TrustΒ and open to the public.
