Appraisal
The garden folly is a historic structure associated with the former extensive gardens of Lota House and displays the quality of craftsmanship afforded to even minor features on the estate. The cemetery has an important social significance and forms part of the later twentieth-century history of the house while under in ownership of the Brothers of Charity.
