Description
The ice house at the Convent of the Sacred Heart is a Grade II listed structure, likely built around 1700. It is constructed of brick and is set within an earth mound at the end of a long canal. The building has a spherical shape with a cup and dome design, standing a maximum of sixteen feet high. Access to the ice house is via a narrow brick tunnel located near its top. This ice house was part of The Elms estate, which was visited by Celia Fiennes during her travels through Surrey from 1708 to 1712. She described the estate as having "two mounts cut smooth, between is a canal, these mounts are several steps up under which are ice houses."
