Description
Borrowcop Pavilion is a pavilion built around 1800 and restored in the 1980s. It is constructed of brick and features a pyramidal tile roof. The structure is square with two round arches on each side, a cogged brick cornice, and a ball finial on the roof. The arches are supported by square brick piers and pilasters, with narrow imposts leading to proud brick arches. Inside, there is a spine wall with benches on either side and embossed-tile paving, along with renewed roof timbers. This site may have originally been home to an Anglo-Saxon fortification and is traditionally associated with the graves of three Christian kings who were killed in battle with King Penda in AD 288, which are depicted on the city seal. The current pavilion, built by 1804, replaces an earlier structure from around 1750, which likely replaced a 17th-century building known as the Temple. The hill has historically been a location for walks and entertainment, offering extensive views of Lichfield.
