Grotto In The Garden Of Knowle Grange (Flats) Including Rockery, Pool, Vase, Pedestal And Summerhouse

The grotto in the garden of Knowle Grange, which is a modern block of flats, includes a rockery, pool, vase, pedestal, and summerhouse. The garden was originally part of the grounds of Knowle Cottage and features a grotto dating from the early 19th century, likely created by Mr. Fish. The layout consists of paths, bays, and circular spaces surrounded by rustic stone rockeries. A pedestal with a vase serves as the central feature of one area, while another area contains an oval pool lined with pebbles. At the south end, there is a semi-circular summerhouse with a vaulted roof, lined with rose quartz and decorated with a design of black pebbles. A wooden bench with a trellis back encircles the interior. The grotto is noted for its picturesque quality and curiosity value.
