Lowe Stand

Hoyland Lowe Stand

Lowe Stand is an 18th-century folly built for Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, and likely originally intended as a hunting lodge.[1] It is situated in the South Yorkshire town of Hoyland, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Barnsley. Today the stand is a Grade II listed building[2] but is in a fairly advanced state of decay.[1] However, the local council plans to restore it.[3]
