Garden Wall And Summerhouse Adjoining High Hatton Hall To West

The garden wall and summerhouse adjoining High Hatton Hall to the west were likely built around 1762, possibly by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard. The wall is made of red brick with grey sandstone coping, standing approximately 2.5 metres high and extending about 70 metres long, with returns at each end. The left-hand return features two altered depressed arches, an impost band, and a lean-to shed at the rear. The summerhouse is constructed of red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings and has a plain tile roof with parapeted gables. It includes an open triangular pedimented gable at the front, which has stone coping and a truncated finial, along with a circular stone sundial in the tympanum with a gnomon. There are four stone steps leading up to the entrance, which has a Palladian motif with gauged brick piers and head, although the side lights are blocked. The rear and left-hand side walls contain circular windows. The structure has short flanking walls with stone-banded end piers. At the time of the survey in January 1986, the interior had no floor. The wall and summerhouse are likely from the same period as High Hatton Hall, which is dated 1762.
