The Echo, Approximately 300 Metres South East of Kings Weston House

The Echo is a garden summerhouse or loggia built around 1722 by Sir John Vanbrugh for Edward Southwell. It is constructed from locally quarried ashlar and rubble limestone from Penpole Woods, with a mid-18th century plinth made of Portland stone.

The structure has a rectangular shape and features three steps leading through three raised semi-circular ashlar arches. These arches are characterized by heavy banded rustication and vermiculated alternate courses, with tall vermiculated keystones that rise to the cornice. Above, there is a parapet adorned with three blind balustrades, separated by dies with vermiculated panels, and six late 20th-century copies of urns with twisted finials on bases with moulded faces. The flank and rear walls are made of pale grey rubble stone below arch height, transitioning to a pink hue above.

Inside, a central stone plinth is decorated with a chain of foliate swags reminiscent of a Roman altar. The rear wall contains three evenly spaced niches that align with the three front arches. Additionally, putlog holes for former roof beams can be found on the interior of the façade above the arcade piers and at corresponding points on the rear wall. The two flanking walls were partially reconstructed in the late 20th century.
