22 February 2013: Sham Castle

FRIDAY
Cobble repairs outside St. Mary the Virgin Church.
Newly installed steps through the National Trust pathway. The Sham Castle.
In 1762, Ralph Allen, a Bath entrepreneur, had the Sham Castle built in order to "improve the prospect" of his townhouse. 
Just beyond the Sham Castle is the Bath Golf Club, established in 1880. A view through the pointed arch of the castle.
A folly.
