Boot's Folly, a.k.a. Strines Tower or Sugworth Tower. The folly was constructed in 1927 by Charles Boot (hence the name Boot’s folly) who resided at the nearby Sugworth Hall. The 45-foot-high square tower with castellated top and flag pole was built from the leftover stone from nearby Bents House. In turn the stone for Bents House had come from the disused Bents Farm, Pears House Farm and Nether Holes Farm which had been demolished because they were suspected of polluting the waters in the dale. It is thought that Boot's Folly was constructed to provide work for Sugworth Hall’s workmen during The Depression. There is also a theory, however, that Boot built the tower so he could see High Bradfield churchyard. H is wife who had died in 1926, aged 56, was buried ther

Another great little bench to have a rest or maybe stop for food in a really tranquil spot

Like most follies, various stories exist explaining why it was built. According to one account it was the work of a grieving widower, built so he could look across Bradfield Dale to the churchyard where his dear wife was buried. The truth is rather less romantic, for the fifty foot high tower was built in 1927 by Mr. Charles Boot, who lived nearby, simply to entertain his friends!
