Garden Walls And Summerhouse Of Former Nether Heworth Hall

This listing describes garden walls and a summerhouse that were originally part of Nether Heworth Hall, now associated with the Heworth Constitutional Club. The structures likely date to the late 18th or early 19th century. The garden walls are constructed of local red brick in a distinctive English garden wall bond pattern of three bricks high and one brick thick. The summerhouse, positioned in the north-east corner of the former gardens, has two external walls built of roughly coursed rubble, while the garden walls are faced with rubble and topped with flat stone coping. The walls form an L-shape, running west and south from the summerhouse, and a shorter length runs south from the north-west corner. The walls are approximately 3.5 metres high on the east side, lower elsewhere, and some coping is missing. The summerhouse has a sloped battlemented parapet, reaching a peak at the north-east corner. It features windows on three sides on the first floor and a door on the south side, accessed by external steps with an arched recess beneath. There is also a door and window on the ground floor of the internal walls. All joinery has been lost. When listed, the summerhouse was roofless and floorless, though the remains of a small fireplace were visible on the upper floor.
