McFie's Folly is an elliptical semi ruinous
water tower built in the C19th Century to feed the adjacent farm in the valley of
Mallerstang.
The structure was in a poor state of repair needing metal
window repairs and timber door repairs plus pointing and wall top consolidation.
The project was funded by the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
We have gone about the repairs with minimal intervention and
attempted to arrest the decay without destroying the partly ruinous appearance of
the water tower.
