Description

Fernery grotto built c.1864.

MATERIALS: variously sized and irregularly laid stone partially coated with cement, and interior lining of Derbyshire tufa calcareous.

PLAN: it is located in the northern part of the fernery on the west side of the central path.

EXTERIOR: the grotto is built into the bank and is relatively small. It is roughly formed and rustic in character, as befits a grotto. It has two openings in which the cement is formed to create a dripping effect on the soffits, an effect also used in the interior.
