Summerhouse C45 Metres West Of Great Moreton Hall And Atttached Wall

The summerhouse, built around 1841-1843 by Edward Blore, is located approximately 45 metres west of Great Moreton Hall and is attached to a stone wall. Constructed from coursed sandstone rubble, the summerhouse features an octagonal plan and stands two storeys high. It is positioned at an angle on a raised walkway, with two doors at first floor level that open onto this promenade. A doorway to the lower floor is situated in the angle between the two banks. The first floor is adorned with trefoil-headed lancet windows, and above these windows is a battlemented parapet. The surrounding stone wall, which encloses the gardens, is about 10 to 12 feet high and has an angled coping. This wall connects to both sides of the house. Additionally, there is an earth bank supporting the walkway on the inner side and a ditch on the outer side.
