Gazebo On North Side Of Fremington Manor Gardens

The gazebo on the north side of Fremington Manor Gardens is a Grade II* listed structure built in 1747. It is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and features a tent-shaped slate roof with a spike finial, lead rolls, and a wooden modillion cornice. There is a brick stack located on the north-west side. The gazebo is square in plan and has an internally octagonal single room on the first floor, which is accessed by an external flight of steps leading from a storage room on the ground floor.

The structure has two storeys, with external stone steps flanked by brick walls on the south side that provide access to the principal room on the first floor. The original 18-paned sash windows, complete with thick glazing bars and original glass, are located on the north-west and east faces. The south side features a doorway with a 12-paned door that has a panelled base and a 6-paned overlight. There is also a six-panelled door leading to the ground floor storage room on the east side.

Inside, the 18th-century fittings are remarkably intact, including panelling on each wall, a moulded cornice, and a corner cupboard on the north-east side with an 18-paned door. The north-west corner of the chimneypiece features a ducks nest grate. The gazebo is a remarkably complete survival, situated next to the north wall of the former pleasure garden of Fremington Manor House.
