Rotunda

The Rotunda is a garden pavilion designed in the form of a circular temple, built in the 1750s. It is constructed of wood, with stone bases for the columns, and features a roof that is now made of fibreglass. The pavilion has ten columns, each adorned with moulded Ionic capitals and an entablature, topped by a shallow domed roof. At the time of its listing in 1967, the building was in a state of disrepair but has since been restored and largely rebuilt around 1990. The Rotunda was illustrated in Country Life on July 8, 1949.

It is set within a historic designed landscape that surrounds an early 18th-century country house. This landscape, likely developed by George London and Henry Wise, evolved into an extensive mid-18th-century park for George Grenville, with significant contributions to the design attributed to William Pitt, later the first Earl of Chatham.
