Pavilion In The Garden Of Kingston Hall

The pavilion in the garden of Kingston Hall was built between 1842 and 1846 by Edward Blore for Edward Strutt, who later became Lord Belper. It is constructed from rock-face ashlar with ashlar dressings and features a pyramidal stone slate roof topped with an octagonal cupola. Each side of the cupola has an open oval panel within a decorative surround, and there is a panelled frieze beneath a decorative conical lead roof with a single finial.

This single-storey, single-bay structure is small and square, with clasping pilasters and a corbel table that is interrupted by the pilasters. The west side has a round-arched entrance supported by a pair of pillars with moulded capitals, and the arch features a pendant keystone along with raised, panelled spandrels. The other three sides each have a single blind slit ventilator set within a flush ashlar quoin surround. The pavilion is included in the listing for its group value.
