Description
The garden pavilion at No 26 is a Grade II listed structure dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is built from brick and flint, topped with a tiled roof. This small, one-room building is located at the end of a long burgage plot and is integrated into the boundary wall. The exterior features alternating bands of red brick and rough flints arranged in a grotto style, with a steeply pitched roof that has stepped brick courses forming a pediment. The pavilion is flanked by piers topped with large stone spheres.
On the front, there are two pointed single lights beside a central pointed plank door, all framed by brick voussoirs and pilasters on either side of the door. The back of the pavilion has a two-light casement window set in a wide segmental opening. Inside, the space is simply plastered and features a printed barrel roof with side benches. Although it is said to have been a meeting house, its small size suggests it was more likely used as a gazebo. Overton is a New Town established in 1216, and this gazebo is positioned at the end of the burgage plots within the boundary wall.
