Angel Wings, near Clovelly

Uploader's Comments

The Angel Wings is a folly on the coast path to the west of Clovelly, it was carved by a former butler from Clovelly Court in the early 19th century. It was built for Sir James Hamlyn Williams, a former owner of Clovelly. It was located here so that he could look across Bideford Bay to where his daughter, Lady Chichester, lived at Youlston. The structure is Grade II listed. My GPS reading differs slightly to the one given by Historic England.
