It was suggested by Sir Humphry Repton in his plans for the garden and is thought to have been designed by Sir Robert Smirke. For more information about them you can visit his site: John Fuller Follies

The plaster wall fixture have held up remarkably. For more information about them you can visit his site: John Fuller Follies

The doors and windows on this building are in amazingly good condition, although they may have been replaced since it was built the hardware appears to be original and suggests that the windows and door are as well. This door stands about 10" high. For more information about them you can visit his site: John Fuller Follies

Here is a small mosaic (made with FD Flickrtoys) of the John 'Mad Jack' Fuller Follies, located in and around Brightling, East Sussex, UK. For more information about them you can visit his site: John Fuller Follies For even more info and a map of the most widely known ones visit here: Folly Towers Site A BIG thanks to the folks at John 'Mad Jack' Fuller for most of the very interesting information posted on the photo pages Amazingly almost all of these are visible from each other, many are within in walking distance although we drove the tour, and I recommend you drive if walking across country isn't for you. I made this mosaic so that others in my local area can get information on visiting them as well, many people I know in or around Hastings had no idea they were so close or that they even existed. We had a wonderful day out visiting them all and it was so fun coming up with our own ideas of what some of them may or may not have been made for. Most of them are on/in Brightling Park and are accessible through public footpaths or have some access to get fairly close. The Temple and the Obelisk are on private property so its best to ask, all parties were more then happy for us to have a close up look when we asked. The Observatory is a private residence now, and has a path around the building that is accessible, the owners have grown a hedge around it to have some privacy however left conservatory side open for visitors. The Church in Dallington is the spire that the Sugar Loaf was made to resemble and is a lovely church and village if you have time to swing by there as well. Brightling Church is ancient and open to visitors if you get time to have a wander around you'll see the markers from the 17th century adorning the church walls, as well as even older paintings that were accidently covered by John Fuller while renovating and have been recovered. The Summerhouse as its called is the only one we didn't get up close and personal with, as there was a riding exhibition or practice going on in the field with easy access. It also appears that the footpath leading away from the Sugar Loaf would get you there, if your feeling up for a bit of a hike. I'm definitely going to plan a day trip back to see it, the work in Coade fake stone is supposed to be quite impressive for its time. Another map showing the locations here: Google Maps by Me Anyway hope someone enjoys the virtual tour as much as I did posting it up, and taking the shots. Definitely you want to get yourself out there one day and see them all if you haven't already :)
