Tattingstone Wonder, Architectural folly in Tattingstone, England.
The Tattingstone Wonder combines two cottages with an added tower and gothic windows to create a church-like structure with flint exterior walls.
In 1790, Edward White transformed existing cottages into this architectural illusion to enhance the view from his residence, Tattingstone Place.
The structure gained recognition through Walter Steggles' artwork in 1937 as part of the Shell oil company's national landmarks advertising campaign.
While the Grade II* listed building functions as a private residence, visitors can observe its exterior architecture from the public road.
The building features a brick marked with Thomas White's initials and the date 1790, providing evidence of its construction period.
