Boot's Folly
Boot's Folly was built in 1927 by Charles Boot of the construction company Henry Boot & Sons. There are a few theories as to why the tower was built. One theory was that, Charles Boot constructed it so that he could see his wife’s grave in Bradfield churchyard across the valley. However, multiple sources state that the tower was built as a job-creation scheme for workers from Sugworth Hall during the depression. The folly stands at 315 meters high and was constructed from leftover stone used to build the nearby Bents House. (Hollow Meadows, England)
