Description

The boathouse at the north end of Upper Fish Pond is a mid-18th century structure built for the Wrightson family of Cusworth Hall. It is constructed from limestone rubble and boulders and features a grotto style. The entrance is segmentally arched, leading to a round-ended, vaulted recess that allows water from the landscape lake to enter. The arch consists of two orders of roughly-hewn boulders, and the vault is rusticated with pendant through-stones. The upper surface is formed by a landscaped mound. This boathouse is likely part of the 1763 landscape scheme designed by Richard Woods, a surveyor from Chertsey in Surrey.
