Somerset Follies - Jonathan Holt (Akeman Press 2007)   9780954613877

Lots of follies througout Somerset, described in detail with many black and white photos including historical photos of the building's original condition.

Cotswold Follies and Fancies - Margaret Caine & Alan Corton (S.B. Publications 1998) 1 85770 163 1

Looking like one of the Curiosities books, but this one contains only follies with good detailed descriptions and black & white photos.

Ivory Towers & Dressed Stones Vol 1: Lancashire - Jim Jarratt (Cicerone 1994) 1 85284 146 X

Small in size but packed with detail, this is arranged as a series of walks with hand drawn maps taking in a folly or two on each one. The text gives a good description of the locality and difficulty of access as well as historical detail.

Ivory Towers & Dressed Stones Vol 2: Yorkshire - Jim Jarratt (Cicerone 1994) 1 85284 147 8

A companion book to the above, again full of walks with both colour and black & white photos plus a few line drawings.

Consall Hall Landscape Garden - William Podmore 2004  (Landmark Publishing) 1 84306 141 4

A book of large colour photos of this amazing garden which is arising from the remains of an older garden ravaged by opencast mining.

Behind the Forbidden Corner - Colin Armstrong 2001 (Forbidden Corner) 0 9541047 1 4

The book of the best new folly garden in years, this nonetheless disappoints as there is so little in it about the garden. It describes the life, family and business interests of the owner, Colin Armstrong, but there is only one chapter on the garden itself. I suspect a book on the same subject by the gardens' designer, Malcolm Tempest, would be of more interest to Folly lovers

Temples of Delight - Stowe Landscape Gardens - John Martin Robinson 1990 ( George Philip)  0 540 01217 3

Published by the National Trust at the launch of its appeal to restore the gardens of Stowe, this book describes the evolution of the garden and the aims of its various owners, along with lots of pictures of the numerous temples.

The Follies of Boughton Park - Simon Scott (Scott Publications 1995) 0 9525366 5 X

A slim self produced book, detailing the follies of Boughton Park, Northamptonshire along with other follies which are related by architect or design.
