Pool, Fountain Head And Terms To Surrounding Terrace In Garden Of Easton Neston House

The pool, fountain-head, and surrounding terrace in the garden of Easton Neston House date from around 1950. The pool is rectangular with a half-elliptical arm, constructed from brick with a concrete lining and a limestone kerb. At the center of the arm, there is a lead fountain-head featuring a boy riding a dolphin, which is likely from the 19th century and of continental origin. The stone-paved terrace that surrounds the arm is flanked by limestone terms, three on each side, which probably date from the 18th century. This feature is part of a formal garden layout created by the 1st Baron Hesketh and his head gardener, Swainson, and was partly designed for use as an open-air swimming pool. The park and gardens are included in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England Register of Parks and Gardens at Grade II.
