Bantam Folly, Belsay


Bantam Folly, near Belsay Castle, are farm buildings, built in c.1757 for Sir William Middleton. The buildings were designed to provide a landscape feature; until the mid-20th Century, the folly had a wooden spire, which made it resemble a church. Above the central arch is a castellated dovecote tower, in which there are brick nesting boxes.[1] Bantam Folly is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
