Description
The Bridgnorth Cockpit is a cockpit building dating from around 1811, which was re-erected and restored in 1979. It is constructed of brick and features a tiled pyramidal roof. The building has a square plan and is a single storey with two entrances that have semi-elliptical heads. The roof is topped with a ball finial. Inside, there is a complex roof structure consisting of a central king-post with raking struts that support the rafters. The walls are entirely new, made from reclaimed 19th-century bricks. The most notable aspect of the building is its exceptionally fine roof structure, which was dismantled in 1976.
