9/99 Boathouse and attached causeway approximately 100m north-west of Maer Hall

GV II

Boathouse. Probably mid-to-late C19. Possibly by T.H. Mawson, who laid out the gardens of Maer Hall (q.v.) for F.J. Harrison in late C19. Rock- faced sandstone ashlar. Causeway about 20m in length running from balustrade and turning to left at north-west end, under which is the boathouse itself. Causeway has one round-headed arch on both sides, with steps over top and 2 round arches and short flight of steps on south. Boathouse with narrow round arches to north-west and south and wide round-arched boat entrance to north; flat roof above with low parapet has access from causeway. The boathouse and causeway were formerly in the lake itself, but this has now receded to the north-west, which means that boats now have to be pulled for a short distance across the lawn.
