Description
The Goose House, located approximately 15 metres southwest of Blands Farmhouse, is an early 19th-century structure. It is built from sandstone rubble and features a conical corbelled hut made of dry stone walling, topped with a cap of dressed sandstone. The base of the building is square in plan and has a faceted dome on top. The dressed stone likely originated as a waste piece from the nearby sandstone quarry. Currently, the base of the building is overgrown, making the entrance difficult to see. It is believed to have been constructed by Arthur Burrow the second, known as 'Perpetual Arthur' (1759-1827). In a letter from December 1935, Baldwin Bent of Wray House mentioned a conversation with Arthur Burrow's grandson, who explained the building's purpose.
