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.

I was in Maidstone, Kent, years ago. I never heard of this until now.

The planning it took to do this may have taken as long as doing it. I doubt we have an adhesive good enough to last this long in a damp environment.
It was not a Victorian who did this. Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and took the throne in 1837. Somebody should know better than to date it at that period.
