Linton Cricket Club Cricket Pavilion

Cricket pavilion, constructed by 1888, built by the Cornwallis family who owned Linton Park between 1883 and 1936. Later C20 kitchen units are not of special interest.

MATERIALS: pre-fabricated corrugated iron structure on a brick plinth, with iron columns and cresting and wooden barge boards, clock tower and internal walls and roof structure.

PLAN: a single-storey rectangular building of three bays with a verandah to the east side.

EXTERIOR: the building has ornamental roof cresting to the roof ridge and a gabled wooden clock to the centre of the east side. The east side has a verandah with cast iron ornamental cresting supported on scrolled brackets and elaborate cast iron Composite pillars with tall octagonal bases. Behind are two wooden casement windows and a central half-glazed double door with chamfered panels. The north and south ends have wooden barge-boards with alternate trefoil and circular cutouts and a wooden casement window. The south end has two casement windows, the north end one casement window and a doorcase. The west side has two casement window openings.

INTERIOR: the wooden roof structure is of three bays with cross-bracing and purlins; there is also wall panelling. An internal partition along the full length divides a circulation area in the front from two changing rooms for the home and away sides to the rear. Original panelled doors with diagonal struts survive as do some wooden benches. A small C20 kitchen has been inserted into the north side of the circulation area and is not of special interest.
