Bath House and Cascade

The Bath House and Cascade are 18th-century structures located to the south of a walled garden, next to a pond that is part of a meandering canal surrounding the gardens. The Cascade is situated at the north end, while the Bath House is on the north-west bank. The Bath House has a figure-eight shape, featuring an octagonal room to the north-west and a round bath or plunge pool to the north-east.

The exterior of the Bath House includes coursed stone up to lintel height and below the eaves in the north-west room, with large blocks of random rubble between these sections. The pool room is constructed entirely of larger, roughly hewn stone blocks, designed to appear as a romantic semi-ruin. It has a domed roof with three large, irregular openings and walls featuring three wide arched openings with massive keystones. The north-west room also has three narrower arched openings, including the entrance, all with large block keystones.

To the north-east of the Bath House, the Cascade is set beneath a mound crossed by stone-lined paths. At the top, a rough stone arch faces the Bath House, leading into the Cascade, which has a stone-lined channel with a niche in its north wall.

Inside the Bath House, both spaces are lined with carefully coursed, regularly shaped ironstone. The north-west room features a cobbled floor with a radiating pattern of deer bones and arched niches in the walls. The bath to the south-east is lined with ashlar and concrete, with steps leading down into the bath from the entrance, flanking a central ashlar block that has a lead spout shaped like a lion's head.

The Cascade's stone-lined channel leads under a low pointed arch into a chamber containing a lead-lined tank, from which stored water likely cascaded out beneath the rough stone arch.
