to north-east of
Sorrelsykes House
GV II
Folly. Early-mid C19. Rubble. Base in the form of a cube with tapering
diagonal buttresses, and in the west side a narrow doorway with a blind
oculus above. The top of the base has flagged coping about the tapering

towards the top, with beams across. The appearance of the folly has given
it in recent times the nickname rocket ship.
