Description
The Rose Garden Terrace walls and arbour, including the attached railings, are a notable structure from the mid to late 18th century, built for Edwin Lascelles, the first Lord Harewood. The construction features ashlar stone and a stone slate roof, complemented by cast- and wrought-iron railings.
The design includes two rectangular terraces with low walls topped with coping. At the corners of the lower terrace and flanking the central entrance, there are carved stone flower baskets. The raised flagged pavements lead to separate rose beds and steps that ascend to the upper terrace, which is adorned with three miniature Tuscan columns on either side that support climbing roses.
The central arbour features a Tuscan porch, which is covered in foliage, and is designed in a distyle in antis. It showcases a finely sculptured circular bas-relief depicting a man in Greek dress holding a helmet in one hand and a knotted club in the other. The main wall is made of ashlar, flanked by higher brick walls.
At the rear, there is a lean-to building that is two storeys high with five first-floor windows, quoins, and a doorway in the second bay with tie-stone jambs. The windows have lintels and sills, with remnants of Yorkshire sash windows. The lean-to roof has coped gables with kneelers. The railings attached to the east side run between the lean-to and the lake, featuring a central gate with a decorative central splat and cresting, along with spear-head rods and arrow-head dogbars set between.
