Description

The Jubilee Room is a chapel that has been converted into a cottage, built in 1887 for General Pitt-Rivers. The structure features a combination of ashlar and timber-framing, with various patterns of brick nogging, a tiled roof, and a brick stack. It is a single storey with an attic and has a one-window front facing the drive.

To the right, there is a large gabled porch that includes a Tudor-arched doorway and a single light with hoodmoulds. The gable displays terracotta heraldic arms and cusped bargeboards. To the left, there is a cross window with Tudor-arched lights and a hoodmould. The timber-framed first floor has a wooden three-light mullioned and transomed window with decorative leading, along with a gable featuring bargeboards and lead downpipes decorated with animal motifs.

The left side of the building has a large stone square bay with a five-light double-transomed window that includes coloured and painted glass, topped by a battlemented parapet with a corbel table. Above this, there is a decorated iron sundial inscribed with the words "Tempus fugit." The rear of the building features one three-light mullioned and transomed window on the first floor. The right side has a similar window and gable, which displays the date 1887 in wrought iron.

The steeply-pitched roof is topped with a wooden and copper cupola, featuring turned balusters at the openings and an ogee capping with a weather vane. Inside, there is one large room that was formerly the chapel, characterized by decorated plaster panelling and an open roof. General Pitt-Rivers constructed this picturesque cottage as a chapel for the tenants of the Rushmore Estate, which is part of a picturesque group that includes North Lodge and the entrance gates and walls.
