Good morning Miranda. Absolutely- so many collections have been dispersed whilst this one is largely intact (some pieces remain with descendants). It would be wonderful to see some returned to Ince Blundell one day.

Wonderful to see the old engravings and the interior views of the temples, especially the Pantheon, absolutely gorgeous.

Also, I’m so delighted to hear that access is now possible as I’ve wanted to visit for years, this is great news!

Good evening Tom. Yes, I think you might be right about the length, but there was just so much to say and show!

Hello Ian and Helen. Thank you for the kind comments. Unfortunately my interest in follies is not matched by an interest in technology, and the website remains as it was set up for me 8 years ago. But I will do my best to make this change.

GREAT OFFERING! ( PERHAPS YOUR LONGEST?)
HOWEVER, THOSE LAST PHOTOS AND COPY, OF ITS PRESENT ‘CONDITION’ REMINDS ME OF:
A ONCE … ‘GRANDE DAME’, WHO IS NOW, SO SADLY, SHOWING A STAGE OF –
‘ALMOST’ … DISRESPECT AND LACK OF APPRECIATION FOR HER LOFTY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
PERHAPS IT’S MY DNA – BEING AN ANTIQUES DEALER, COUPLED WITH MY LOVE OF ALL THAT ONCE WAS (HOUSED) THAT ALLOWS ME MY STANCE …
YET, ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, THE STRUCTURES SURVIVED.

FOR FUN, GOOGLE: SHELDON BARR AND TOM GARDNER
*** TO UNDERSTAND MY STANCE ***

TOM

May I make a suggestion. Is it possible to make the text, particularly the labels for the illustrations, blacker? At present the grey on white is more difficult to read, particularly for older eyes.
Many thanks.
