Gothic Seat About 100 Metres South Of Tyntesfield House

The Gothic seat, located about 100 metres south of Tyntesfield House, dates from around 1865 and is possibly designed by John Norton. It is made of stone and features a backrest with a frieze of pierced panels adorned with cusped ogee tracery, with the center raised and displaying intersecting panel tracery. The corners are marked by large piers that include blind tracery and are topped with vases, although three of these vases have fallen. The seat itself is constructed from timber planks. This structure is a notable example of Victorian garden ornamentation situated within a grade II* garden and is part of a series of Gothic seats found in the garden at Tyntesfield.
