Description

The garden shelter and platform, located 50 meters northeast of Lady Herbert's Homes in Coventry, was built between 1930 and 1935 by Albert Herbert for his cousin Sir Alfred Herbert. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a Swithland slate roof. The structure is octagonal, supported by four panelled brick piers topped with ashlar caps. The roof has an ogee dome that is carried on wooden lintels with shaped ends. Inside, there is a shallow plaster dome adorned with painted inscriptions, and there were formerly wooden benches in each recess. The shelter is situated in the center of a slightly raised square platform that measures approximately 10 meters square, which is paved with York stone and has a moulded kerb that bows on the south side.
