Jonathan Holt had carefully prepared his talk and slides to be particularly relevant to our area. We heard about old follies, very old follies & some really rather modern ones. Follies were built to entertain and distract, to make a mark on the landscape or to show the builder’s status – sometimes all of these. It was interesting to learn that mobile phone companies sometimes support the erection of new follies in order to use them as masts.
