Follies at Ingress Park
We are now restoring the follies and gates in the grounds of the Park.
The Cave of the Seven Heads is a flint lined folly cut out in the Kent chalk bed - a home for an 18th century hermit. This rusticated entrance arch has grotesque heads carved in its ragstone voussiors and keystones. Engineers have built a bridge over the Cave so that road traffic will not damage the delicate grotto. Each stone in the entrance was recorded and put aside for the duration of the roadworks.
