Follies—decorative structures that serve no practical purpose—were a fashionable way to flaunt wealth... Numerous parts of the federal government come instantly to mind...

It looks like a much-older-than-Victorian church.

Much too much time on their hands.

“One possible explanation is that the grotto was the project of an eccentric Victorian aristocrat.”
Must have been a time traveler, too, since the grotto was discovered before Victoria took the throne.

Never heard of him. Anyway, I’ll bet I could come up with better thrills in the past than making an underground shell grotto.
To: BenLurkin
I was in Maidstone, Kent, years ago. I never heard of this until now.

Thanks for posting that observation. Similar thought came to me as well.

They must’ve eaten all of the shellfish and thought, “whatever are we going to do with this huge pile of shells?”

I can’t even begin to try to understand the planning that went into this.
Truly amazing.

On the Eastern Shore I’ve seen farmers “pave” their dirt roads with oyster shells from the processing plants.
