Belverdere Summer House

Belverdere Summer House is a summer house built around 1800 by John Rawstorne for William Hewett of Bilham Hall, which has since been demolished. The structure is made of rubble limestone, although the roof has collapsed. It features a central block with two storeys and a vaulted undercroft, along with curved-bay protection at the front and lower single-bay side wings. The building has chamfered quoins, and the curved bay includes a dislodged doorcase with a pediment and a shaped panel above, though the upper walling is ruined. The central block has a quoined opening with a tripartite keyblock. The left wing contains a round-arched brick panel with a large section of wall missing, while the right wing has a standing corner and a return wall. The rear side has a chamfered, rounded arch leading to the undercroft, and an intact opening above with a projecting sill, quoined architrave, and tripartite keyblock. Each wing's basement features a rusticated round-arched panel, and the return walls of the central block maintain openings similar to those on the first-floor front.

Inside, there is a groined brick vault in the undercroft. E. Miller noted that W. N. W. Hewett, Esq. constructed this elegant small structure, called Belvedere or Belle Vue, which offers one of the most extensive and richest views in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Designs for the building were exhibited by Rawstorne at the Royal Academy in 1800.
