  • Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down
    Helens Tower Sleeps 2 - Clandeboye Estate, Bangor, Co Down. Situation: Presentation: Helen's Tower perched high above the rolling hills of Co Down, is an enchanting three storey stone tower nestled deep in the woods of the Clandeboye Estate. Standing on top of the world with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, one can see as far as distant Scottish shores from the top of Helen's Tower. La Tour d’Hélène perchée au-dessus des collines de Co Down, est une charmante tours en pierre à trois étages, niché dans les bois du domaine de Clandeboye. Elle est niché sur le toit du monde avec une vue panoramique sur le paysage environnant, on peut voir aussi loin que les rivages écossais à partir du haut de la tour d'Hélène. History: Built in 1848 by Frederick Lord Dufferin, 5th Baron of Dufferin and Ava in honour of his mother Helen Selina Blackwood, Helen's Tower has since been immortalized by Tennyson in the poem of the same name. Designed by architect William Burn and constructed in 1848-1850 as a famine relief project, Helen's Tower helped relieve unemployment at this time. The tower has taken on an unforeseen poignancy, as an almost exact replica of it, the Ulster Tower, was built at Thiepval in 1921 to honour the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division who fell at the Battle of the Somme. Clandeboye Estate was used for army training during the First World War, and the 36th (Ulster) Division trained beside Helen's Tower before leaving for France.

  • Follies: Frivolous Or Functional? Iona Erskine Andrews
    FOLLIES: FRIVOLOUS OR FUNCTIONAL? IONA ERSKINE ANDREWS “Follies are joyful buildings which aim to please.” The Follies Trust Generally defined as ornamental buildings with no practical purpose, follies conjure up images of romance and eccentricity and are thought of as peculiarly British/Irish. In Northern Ireland they range from The Temple of the Winds at Mount Stewart to Lord Limerick’s decorative gate pillars near Bryansford, Co. Down with mausolea, obelisks, garden buildings and all manner of delightful structures in between. FUNCTIONAL FOLLIES The popular image only tells part of the story. Delving into the detail we find that each and every folly actually has a purpose, even if it is merely to mark a view or to commemorate a loved one. Conversely, many functional buildings also contain wonderful and elaborate detailing, an element of “follie.” There is thus a spectrum from functional to frivolous along which most building structures lie. Follies may be at the frivolous end of the spectrum but there is no black and white, merely shades of grey or shades of frivolous ornamentation. One of the best known follies in the British Isles is the Dunmore Pineapple in West Lothian. According to Jack Stevenson it is said to “rank as the most bizarre building in Scotland.” It was built in 1761 by John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, as a hot-house for growing pineapples. Murray left Scotland after the initial structure had been built, and went on to become Colonial Governor of Virginia in America. The upper-floor pavilion or summerhouse with its pineapple-shaped cupola and the Palladian lower-floor portico were added after Murray’s return from Virginia.
