Description
This gazebo, located 100 metres south-southwest of Baggrave Hall, was likely built around the 1770s. It is constructed from coursed ironstone and limestone rubble, with ashlar limestone on the garden front (east side). The structure has a simple square plan and is a single storey, designed in a Gothick style that incorporates some genuine medieval fragments.
The garden front features a central doorway with a 4-centred arch, which includes wooden printed arches in the tympanum and half-glazed double doors with Gothick arches on the lower panels. This doorway is flanked by single-light pointed lancets that have wooden trefoil tracery. Above, there are three sunken panels with pierced tracery. The gazebo is accessed by external stone steps that have low walls with coping. It also has a plinth, a moulded cornice band, a parapet, and crenellation with pierced merlons that extend across all elevations, although some merlons are missing. Simple lancets are present on either side wall, while the rear features a central moulded arched doorway with a plain tympanum and half-glazed doors, topped by a re-used medieval corbel head. This gazebo is a notable example of late 18th-century Gothick garden architecture.
