Description
Garibaldi Cottage is a Grade II listed keeper's cottage built in 1860. It is constructed of brick and features a plain tiled roof adorned with courses and patterns of fish scale tiles. The building is L-shaped, single storey with an attic. The south front has two bays, with the left bay featuring a gable. It includes a four-light window with transoms on both the ground and attic floors; the ground floor window is located in a projecting bay beneath a half-timbered jettied attic. A bressumer above the window is inscribed with "BUILT · IN · YE · YEAR · THAT · GARIBALDI · ROSE · TO · FREE · ITALIA · FROM · HER · FOREIGN · FOES".
The cottage has arch-braced barge boards, with carved lower spandrels depicting Garibaldi landing at Palermo on the left and Victor Emmanuel greeting Garibaldi on the right. The upper spandrels display shields with the initials ITM (for John Thomas Mott) and a crescent representing the Mott arms. A wrought iron finial features a rose, shamrock, and thistle, topped with an estoile (the Mott crest). To the right of the south front is a door under a smaller gable, with three window lights above set between timber frame studs. A corner post features a carved statue of Garibaldi dated 1861, with a brass plaque inscribed "Il liberatore dell Italia".
The gable on the right of the east facade mirrors the south front, with barge boards that have lower spandrel carvings of a pheasant on the left and guns on the right. It has a similar wrought iron finial, but with the initials ITM instead of the estoile. The north and west sides of the cottage both have brick pilaster strips on the upper walls, and external stacks with four hexagonal linked shafts topped with oversailing caps.
