Garden Pavilion And Garden Walls To Hathersage Hall

The garden pavilion and garden walls at Hathersage Hall date from the mid-18th century. The pavilion is square, constructed of ashlar griststone on a rubble gritstone plinth band, topped with a pyramidal stone slate roof featuring lead rolls at the hip ridges and a ball finial at the apex. The garden-facing side of the pavilion is flush with the tapering garden wall and includes coupled doorways with a central pier and arched heads beneath a small pediment. The other sides have single light openings with elliptical arched heads and boarded shutters. Above the window heads, there is a projecting broad band course and a moulded eaves cornice.

The pavilion is connected to the garden walls that enclose the gardens of Hathersage Hall. These walls are made of coursed rubble gritstone, standing three metres high with a flat coping, and extend approximately 100 metres in a roughly square shape to enclose the gardens to the northwest of Hathersage Hall. The wall at the northwest end of the garden serves as a forcing wall and contains raking flues that allow it to be heated during sudden late frosts.
