    Broadwood's Folly – named after Thomas Broadwood, the builder and landowner – is a small, listed flint tower protected by the National Trust.

    The word 'folly' is used because of the purely decorative nature of the tower. It's considered 'folly' or a playful act from the architect or builder.
