Thank you Kate. I know of all the follies, but there are still some I have not seen. And for obvious reasons the last year saw many plans cancelled. Hoping for some folly jaunts before too long.

I wonder if it contained descriptions of any that were new to you? That was a good piece of digging on your part!

Hello Carrie. I did have a quick look at their house. It’s wonderful and I hope someone comes along to restore it and cherish it. Thanks for sharing this information.

Their 1930s house has been on the market for some time. You could enjoy a virtual tour of it by looking on WOWHAUS 1930s Art Deco renovation project Clevedon Somerset

One of my choices when “boredom” meant I pulled book off the shelf to revisit. No telly in our house. Some illustrations I recognise instantly. From memory the binding wasn’t great on them.

Thank you John, it’s lovely to receive such praise. It was a piece of research I had thought about for years, and I very pleased to have given due acknowledgement to Hatt and Sharp at last.

Good research and a fascinating article.

Hello Gwyn. The good news is that there were TWO talented women flying the flag for follies in the middle of the last century! I wonder if they ever met?
