Editing Wentworth Woodhouse (section)

===Follies and garden buildings===
The grounds (and surrounding area) contain a number of [[folly|follies]] and other garden structures, many with associations in the arena of 18th-century Whig politics. They include:
* [[Hoober Stand]]. A tapering pyramid with a hexagonal lantern, named for the ancient wood in which it was erected. It is {{convert|30|m|ft|order=flip}} high and was built to Flitcroft's design in 1747–48 to commemorate the defeat of the [[Jacobite rebellion of 1745]], in which Lord Malton and his surviving son took part; his defensive efforts for the Hanoverian Whig establishment were rewarded with the Lord Lieutenancy of Yorkshire and the title Marquess of Rockingham: thus the monument indirectly reflects the greater glory of the family. The tower, which surveys the surrounding landscape like a watchtower, is open to the public on Sunday afternoons throughout the summer.
* [[Keppel's Column]]. A 115&nbsp;ft (35 m) [[Tuscan column]] built to commemorate the acquittal of the court-martialed [[Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel|Admiral Keppel]], a close friend of Rockingham. Its [[entasis]] visibly bulges owing to an adjustment in its height, made when funding problems reduced the height. It was designed by [[John Carr (architect)|John Carr]].
* [[The Rockingham Mausoleum]]. A three-storey building 90&nbsp;ft (27 m) high,  situated in woodland, where only the top level is visible over the treetops. It was commissioned in 1783 by the Earl Fitzwilliam as a memorial to the late first Marquess of Rockingham; it was designed by John Carr, whose first design, for an obelisk, was rejected, in favour of an adaptation of the Roman Cenotaph of the Julii at [[Saint-Rémy-de-Provence]], near Arles.<ref>Noted by Charlesworth 1986:135.</ref> The ground floor is an enclosed hall containing a statue of the former prime minister by [[Joseph Nollekens]], plus busts of his eight closest friends. The first floor is an open colonnade with Corinthian columns surrounding the (empty) [[sarcophagus]]. The top storey is a Roman-style [[cupola]]. Like Hoober Stand, the Mausoleum is open on summer Sunday afternoons.
* [[Needle's Eye]]. A {{convert|14|m|ft|adj=on|order=flip}} high, sandstone block [[pyramid]] with an ornamental urn on the top and a tall [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] [[ogee]] [[arch]] through the middle, which straddles a disused roadway. It was built in the 18th&nbsp;century allegedly to win a bet after [[Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham|the second Marquess]] claimed he could drive a coach and horses through the eye of a needle.
* [[Bear pit|Bear Pit.]] Accessible if patronising the nearby Garden centre. Built on two levels with a spiral stair. The outer doorway (about 1630) is part of the architecture of the original house. At the end of the garden is a grotto guarded by two life-sized statues of Roman soldiers.
* Camellia House. The Camellia House, dating mainly from the early 19th century though with late 18th century elements, was built to contain the family's collection of ''[[Camellia]]'' bushes brought from India. A grade II* listed building,<ref>{{NHLE|num=1286162|desc=Camellia House|grade=II*|access-date=4 January 2022}}</ref> it represents a rare survival of such a plant collection, with the oldest dating back to 1792.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/04/quite-incredible-some-of-worlds-rarest-camellias-discovered-in-yorkshire|first=Mark|last=Brown|title='Quite incredible': some of the world's rarest camellias discovered in Yorkshire|work=The Guardian|date=4 January 2022}}</ref> The Camellia House was restored from dereliction in the early 2020s as part of the restoration of the house, and reopened as a teahouse in 2024.<ref>{{cite news |first=Mark |last=Brown |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/mar/23/camellia-house-wentworth-woodhouse-teahouse-restored |title=Rare camellias at English stately home bloom again after £5m revamp |work=The Guardian |date=23 March 2024 }}</ref>
