Description
The Casita in the garden at Iford Manor is a garden loggia built around 1910 by H.A. Peto. It features dressed limestone and a hipped stone slate roof, designed in a Spanish style. The loggia has three bays supported by early 13th century coupled marble columns from Verona, which hold up a carved wooden frieze. To the right, there is a wall pierced by a billet-moulded square window with an iron grille, and above it are two carved roundels, one depicting an Agnus Dei. Inside the loggia, there are several fragments of sculptured carving, including a semi-circular niche that contains a possibly classical statue from France, flanked by billet-moulded panels with reliefs from Naples. The Casita is located in the north west corner of the Great Terrace and replaced an earlier timber garden shed. The sculptural fragments were part of Peto's collection.
