Description
The boathouse at the south-west end of the lake in the grounds of Kettlethorpe Hall is an early to mid-18th century garden house that has been altered to serve as a boathouse. It incorporates the original facade of St Mary's chapel from Wakefield Bridge, which was replaced by a reproduction in 1847. The structure features a broad, segmental-arched boat entrance with cut voussoirs and consists of five bays. Doorways alternate with tracery panels set in ogee crocketed frames within gables. Slender, panelled buttresses support the building, and the narrow outer bays have niches above them. A frieze depicting five relief panels illustrating the life of the Virgin is very badly weathered, and the parapet is mostly missing.
