Tuscan Pavilions

The Tuscan Pavilions are a pair of garden structures built in the 1750s, which were repaired and largely reconstructed in the 1980s. Each pavilion resembles a small temple, featuring a wooden portico supported by four Tuscan columns at each end, with short lath and plaster side walls and a single cross wall, topped with slate roofs. The pavilions overlook a lake and are positioned at a slight angle to the wide avenue that runs along the main axis of Wotton House. They were illustrated in Country Life on July 8, 1949.

The pavilions are part of a historic designed landscape surrounding an early 18th-century country house, which likely has a layout by George London and Henry Wise. This area developed into an extensive mid-18th-century park for George Grenville, designed by Lancelot Brown, with significant contributions from William Pitt, who later became the first Earl of Chatham.
