Summer House And Pump On South East Corner Of Walled Garden, Pishiobury Park

The summer house and pump located on the southeast corner of the walled garden at Pishiobury Park date from the 16th or 17th century. This single-storey building is constructed from old red brick and measures 30 feet square. It features a pyramid-shaped roof made of old red tiles, topped with a square lantern. The brickwork displays irregular bonding.

On the north side, there is a three-centre arched doorway, while the east side has a wide three-centre arched opening that was added in the 19th century, which originally had a glazed screen that is now missing. This opening has been infilled with brick and fitted with double plank doors. A small doorway has been cut through to the walled garden at the south end of the west wall. The eaves project and have a plastered soffit. The square lantern has a pyramid-slate roof and is topped with a metal fleur-de-lis finial. It appears that the roof and lantern were renewed in the 18th or 19th century.

Adjacent to the summer house is a cast iron pump from the 18th or 19th century. The pump features three raised rings on its circular barrel, with a corbelled expansion leading to a fluted chamber. It has an ornamental spout adorned with palmettes where it meets the chamber, a floral bucket spur, and a decorated orifice. There is a bracket for a handle, but the handle itself is missing.
