An octagonal structure built in the Gothic Revival style in 1761. According to the National Trust Website (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-knole/w-knole-park.htm ), this was built as a folly to ornament the parkland near Knole House. The arch through which the view is taken gives the appearance of being very old but is, itself, part of a set of fake ruins (also built in the 1760s) making up another folly.
