Description

The Gothic Seat, located about 180 metres west of Tyntesfield House, is a garden seat dating from around 1865, possibly designed by John Norton. It is made of stone and features a frieze of quatrefoils at the front of the base. The back of the seat includes a frieze of pierced panels with cusped ogee tracery, with the center raised and displaying intersecting panel tracery. Large piers at the corners of the arms feature blind tracery and are topped with vases. Part of the back of the seat has fallen. This seat is a notable example of Victorian garden ornamentation within a grade II* garden and is one of several Gothic seats found in the garden at Tyntesfield Park.
