Brankelow Cottage : ウィキペディア英語版 | Brankelow Cottage Brankelow Cottage, also known as Brankelow Folly and Brankelow House, is a folly on the Combermere Abbey estate, in Cheshire, England. It is listed at grade II.〔 Dating from 1797, it was originally a model dairy and later a gamekeeper's cottage with attached kennels. Described by Nikolaus Pevsner and co-authors as a "charming eyecatcher,"〔Hartwell ''et al''., p. 295〕 the folly is ornamented with battlements, pinnacles, pilasters, arrowslits and fancy brickwork. ==History== Brankelow Cottage was built in 1797 for Sir Robert Salusbury Cotton (c. 1739–1809). The architect is believed to be John Webb (1754–1828), who has also been suggested to have been the landscape designer used when Cotton landscaped Combermere Park in 1795–97. It was originally a model dairy.〔 The building also contained a sitting room used in summer, whose decorations were done by the Cotton family daughters. It was subsequently used as a gamekeeper's cottage; the pavilions to each end were formerly used as dog kennels. It is now a folly.〔〔〔〔de Figueiredo & Treuherz, p. 63〕
