The story goes that a messenger boy called Jack, would eat treacle to give himself the energy to run to London delivering letters.

A folly built around 1775. Rough rubble arch about 5-metres high, crowned with
circular tower in cut and squared stone…
The turret has an inaccessible door leading to a single small room.
