Belvedere Follies

View of Jealous Wall & Gazebo

The word "Folly" is commonly used to describe an ornamental building serving no useful purpose - some were designed as "sham ruins" while others were built simply to adorn the landscape. On the estate are the famous Jealous Wall built in 1760 in the style of a ruined medieval abbey to block the view of a larger house nearby, the Gothic Arch and Octagonal Gazebo. In Georgian times the inclusion of such follies as part of the overall improvements to the landscape were to provide subjects for melancholic contemplation of the triumph of civilisation over barbarity.

View across Jealous wall, Ice House Entrance & Gothic Arch

Also on the estate is a 17th century Ice House which had a functional use in providing ice for table for sculptures and sorbets as was the royal fashion of the time.
