Summerhouse at Minley Manor

The Summerhouse at Minley Manor was built between 1896 and 1899 for Laurence Currie, and is attributed to architect Arthur Castings. It is located on high ground, 110 meters east of Minley Manor, and features a circular plan.

The structure is timber-framed with a thatched roof and timber cladding and fittings, topped with a stone finial. It is supported by 12 timber posts and has three semi-circular eyebrow dormers that include branches forming radiating glazing bars. The soffits are covered with timber shingles. Inside, a rustic timber screen divides the space into three segments, each containing a curved, panelled timber seat. The northern seat opens into a central storage cupboard. The floor is made of timber parquet in the center, while the external plinth consists of engineering brick with inlaid black and white pebbled panels arranged in 12 segments, aligning with the timber posts and echoing the pebbled path that leads north from the building.
