Site Event/Activity record ECH5278 - White Nancy, Bollington, Macclesfield. An Archaeological Photographic Survey of an 1817 Folly/Summerhouse

White Nancy is a Grade II Listed Building which stands at the northern end of Kerridge Hill, at a height of c. 280m AOD, overlooking the town of Bollington and the River Dean Valley near Macclesfield. It was built in 1817 by John Gaskell of the nearby North End Farm to commerate the British victory at the battle of Waterloo. There is a tradition that the site was used in earlier times as a beacon. The domed, or sugar-loaf, shaped structure is a prominent local landmark.
