This quaint 17th century building, supported by Italianate columns, is right opposite the hotel in the market place. 1 km away is Faringdon Folly, a tower that measures 100 feet and is situated on Faringdon Hill towards the east of the town. The folly was built in 1935 by order of Lord Berners to relieve local unemployment and is reputedly one of the last follies to be built in England. During World War II the Home Guard used the tower as an observation point.
