Folly. Mid C19. Built entirely of rusticated overfired brick wasters.
Circular tower of five stages separated by projecting brick string-courses.
Ground floor has pointed door outlined in projecting brick and similar
pointed window, now blocked. Lancets to first and second floor, larger
pointed window and oculus to third floor, all with projecting brick
surrounds. Stepped brick cornice to crenellated parapet. In addition to
the windows there are at second and third floor levels various diamond-

pattern. Said to have been built by a Hornsea man, in business in Hull, in
order to allow his family to view his impatiently-awaited return.
