Description
Charles Cotton's Fishing House is a 17th-century building, dated "PISCATORIBUS / SACRVM / 1674". It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped by a pyramidal stone slate roof. The structure has a single cell square plan and is designed in an Artisan Mannerist style, standing at one storey high. It features transomed windows with latticed lights and wooden shutters on either side. A flight of steps leads up to central double-leaved doors, which are flanked by pilasters with a round head and a raised keystone. The keystone is inscribed with the intertwined initials "I.W." and "C.C.", representing Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton. This fishing house was built for Charles Cotton, the owner of Beresford Hall and a friend of Izaak Walton.
