Old John, Bradgate Park

No idea the story behind this monument/folly, but it is in Bradgate Park, on the outskirts of Leicester. Bradgate Park was the home to Queen Jane when she was Lady Jane Grey.

It is a great folly and a distinctive site of Bradgate park. I believe there was a windmill there originally.

@rjb71 you are correct, there was a windmill there.
Old John was built as a mock ruin in 1784.
Nice shot of the beer mug.

Well captured against the brilliant blue sky.

Lovely tones and textures of these old walls. It really does look like a beer mug ;-)

@ludwigsdiana It's what the locals call it
@wendyfrost many thanks, have crudely deleted loads of people
@carole_sandford I knew that, and have corrected my grammar, thank you
@rjb71 it certainly stands out!

A beaut image - of a funny little building - just out there all by itself.
