Gazebo And Garden Wall

The gazebo and garden wall, dating from around 1780, are located at The Garth in Marske. The gazebo is constructed of ashlar stone and features rusticated quoins on the first floor, topped with a grey slate roof. It stands two storeys tall and has one window. The ground floor has an open arch with an elliptical head, supported by wide voussoirs and an impost band, while the first floor has a renewed sash window with glazing bars, a flat stone lintel, and a slightly projecting stone sill. A gutter cornice runs below the swept eaves of the low-pitched pyramidal roof, which is adorned with a tall yellow octagonal chimney pot that has a plinth and cornice.

On the left side of the gazebo, there is a round-headed arch on the ground floor and a blank first floor. The right side features a curved flight of stone steps leading against the garden wall, with a renewed wooden handrail and a boarded door to a storage area beneath the steps. To the left of the steps, there is another round-headed open arch, and a renewed six-panel door is located on the first floor beneath a flat stone lintel.

The garden wall is made of coursed squared stone and brick, topped with flat stone coping. It has shallow buttresses attached to the rear of the gazebo and well-cut coursed squared stone to the right. The wall extends along High Street and to the left of the gazebo, with similar stonework reaching two-thirds of its height, topped with brick and a single coping course of stone. This section of the wall steps down at the left end.
