Description
The garden seat at St Michael's Convent, formerly known as Park Hill, dates from around 1870. It features a stuccoed round-headed alcove with a wooden curved seat and a reeded wooden backrest. This structure likely corresponds to the period when the villa designed by J B Papworth was constructed and is part of a collection of garden features at Park Hill.
