Description
The Bowling Pavilion at Foots Cray Place is a building from 1903, designed by R Frank Atkinson for Samuel Waring. It features weatherboard cladding over a timber frame and has a domed felt roof, which was originally tiled. The pavilion is two storeys high, with a canted elevation facing the bowling green. The ground floor is open-fronted and supported by timber posts, while the first floor has wood mullioned windows with leaded lights.
Historically, the bowling green and pavilion represent a rare example of a two-storey Edwardian garden pavilion and are the only significant remnants of a formal landscape garden designed by the renowned landscape architect Thomas Mawson.
