Keppel's Column: A Most Fascinating Folly! (History Documentary)

A short history documentary about Keppel's Column: when it was built, who built it, and why it's in a random field. Keppel's Column is South Yorkshire's tallest/biggest folly. Using new research, Joshua Daniels (historian and filmmaker) tells the story of this fascinating folly, with videography from director and filmmaker Matthew Bowns, and drone videographer and 3D mapper Shaun Bennett.
I'm researching other follies in Yorkshire and have published research/made documentaries about other follies. Anything you'd like me to research or want some work done/a collab? I'd love to hear from you! You can contact me here:

Thankfully this monument is restored and open to the public in 2022. My grandfather was the keeper for many years until his death in 1960 and this is when it fell into disrepair.
