Description
The drinking trough, terrace wall, steps, and two pairs of piers located 15 yards north of Copse Hill were built around 1872, possibly by C F Hayward for H A Brassey, known as the Railway King. The structure features rough-faced rubble with ashlar moulded coping and dressings. The shallow quadrant retaining wall stands about 4 to 5 feet high and has a shaped flower-bed wall in front. A central arched feature, adorned with ball finials, leads to a circular pool that includes a rock-hewn 'cavern' inside. To the right, steps with a curved plan lead down, flanked by ball-capped piers at the base. To the left, there are entrance gate-piers, also topped with ball finials, which lead to the former kitchen courtyard. Both sets of piers are constructed from rough-faced drum stone.
