 Colin's Barn
On Nic Barlow's website there is a picture of a folly I've not seen before called Colin's Barn, Wiltshire. Can anyone tell me anything more about it, such as where it is, how old it is, and what is the story behind it.
You can see the picture at :

Re: Colin's Barn
the link doesn't work today, so I do not know what I am talking about; I cannot see the Barn.
The Badminton excursion includes Colin's Barn though, so I suppose Elizabeth Waters knows more. I am curious.

Re: Colin's Barn
I now know it's a modern building, near Tetbury, and handbuilt by Colin to house his sheep . He'll be there to show us round as part of the Badminton trip, so I'll report back when I've seen it.
I've edited the link so you should now be able to see Nic's magnificent photo.

Re: Colin's Barn
Link works!
Wow! Where is this? Unfortunately the Badminton excursion was overbooked already, so I would like to go and see it on my own some day if possible.

Re: Colin's Barn
I've now seen it, and can report that it is indeed a wondrous new folly. According to Colin, he just started building a barn for his sheep and it took on a life of its own and just grew and grew. It rambles in all directions and includes a little chapel and some dovecotes. A full report and pictures in the next issue of Follies magazine!

Re: Colin's Barn
There is a very short film about the barn (at Tetbury) on YouTube, the link for which is:
