Victorian Folly of 'Medieval Ruins' in Bromley Palace Park, Rafford Way - Bromley

Folly with Norman-style detailing, probably of mid-1860s and by the important firm of garden contractors, Pulham. The structure had been cleared of ivy and other woody vegetation, which was seriously damaging the stonework and lime render, but this has now regrown and is causing further damage. Recently sold as part of a development site, Historic England and the Local Authority have made contact with the new owners and it is expected that appropriate conservation works will be undertaken.
