Hello Rosemary. Yes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have one as a writing hut at the bottom of the garden. We can but dream.

Good afternoon Gwyn, and I am delighted that today’s post set you off on a voyage of discovery. Thanks for sharing the history of this word, which will also enter my vocabulary.

Hello Jocelyn. There are two books that you should have. One is Barbara Jones ‘Follies and Grottoes’ 1974 and the other is Gwyn Headley and Wim Meulenkamp ‘Follies, Grottoes and Garden Buildings’ 1999. You should also have a look at the map on the Folly Fellowship website http://www.follies.org.uk. And of course you can search this website by keyword or look at the county index. Thanks for your interest.
