Boots Folly

Does anyone know who owns Boots Folly? 

 

The Landmark Trust might be interested in restoring it & turning it into a holiday let...before it falls down! But they need to know who to talk to first

Try asking Henry Boot Construction?

Last time I was there, a cow was in residence.

Boots Folly stands in the grounds of Sugworth Hall which was the family home of the Boot family. Charles Boot had the folly built as a tribute to his late wife in the 1920's and also to keep his workers busy during the depression. So, I would guess that whoever owns Sugworth Hall these days, probably owns the Folly too.

A couple of more ideas;

 

Historic England as it's a Grade II listed Building   https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/ - they might need informing of repairs.

 

Peak Distric National Park Authority   https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/home
