Description
The loggia at the south end of Broad Walk, likely built around 1880 by Alfred Waterhouse for the 1st Duke of Westminster, is constructed from buff and red sandstone. It features three round arches supported by Ionic columns, with a blank round arch at each end flanked by Ionic pilasters. A full entablature crowns the structure. Simple iron railings enclose the central bay, which includes double gates leading to a Roman altar dedicated by the XX Legion to the Nymphs and Springs. This altar was discovered in 1821 at a spring near Boughton Cross, which served Deva, and was brought to Eaton in 1822. The loggia, which includes two reconstructed Roman columns, was integrated into Detmar Blow's redesign of the east garden in 1911, serving as the southern terminal of the main cross axis. It replaced a Gothick temple designed by William Cole in 1822 that originally housed the altar.
