Wigginton - Highfield Lodge This house bordering Tring Park at the end of a dead-end drive in Wigginton is called Highfield Lodge. They had a garden open day, when these photos were taken. The house also offers Bed & Breakfast on Booking.com
On the large scale OS maps it is named as Ranger's Cottage. I would say that it dates from the last decades of the C19th.

View from rear of Highfield Lodge, Wigginton Looking across a field with plenty of wild flowers past the tops of a few houses on Osborne Way. In the distance the white tower than can just be seen is the top of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/130840">SP9807 : Chateau d'Eau !</a> about 3½ miles (5½km) away.

Folly in the grounds of Highfield Lodge, Wigginton This little structure is in woodland adjoining and belonging to <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7537537">SP9310 : Wigginton - Highfield Lodge</a>
It looks like an old ruined chapel, but is I'm sure, a folly. Whether it is contemporaneous with the house (late C19th) or was one of various follies in Tring Park, which would make it older, I don't know.
