Description
Lindeth Tower is a summerhouse built in 1842 by H.P. Fleetwood Esq., as noted on a slate plaque above the door. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has a square plan with a battlemented parapet. The structure stands three storeys tall, with one bay on each side. The south-east wall features a sashed window without glazing bars and plain reveals on the ground floor. The other walls have sashed windows with glazing bars, plain reveals, deeply projecting sills, and square-section label moulds. The doorway, located in the north-east wall, is accessed by stone steps and has plain reveals, along with a door that features a raised moulded diamond pattern and studs. Notably, Mrs. Gaskell did some of her writing here.
