Located south of the town opposite the racecourse, The Folly was operated by Charles Wells at the time of this photograph in August 2003. Dating from the 18th century, the building was not always a pub. However, by 1881 it was kept by George Powell, an innkeeper born in the town around 1834. His wife Ellen hailed from Deddington in Oxfordshire. A former labourer, George Powell had previously lived at another of the town's pubs run by Betsy Smith. In 1921 The Folly was managed by Mrs Mary Jane Spriggs.
