Outbuilding Approximately One Hundred And Ten Metres North Of Kirby Hall

This building is an outbuilding located approximately one hundred and ten metres north of Kirby Hall. It is a summerhouse, now used as a chicken or pheasant house, dating from the 18th century. It was likely designed by Lord Burlington and Roger Morris, or John Carr of York. The structure is made of orange-red brick in English garden wall bond, featuring plastered columns and a slate roof. It has a lobed rectangle shape and is a single storey with a hexastyle Ionic temple front, complete with dentilled cornices on the entablature and pediment, opening onto a paved area. The front is boarded up behind the columns. Inside, there is a semicircular niche at each end and a shallow arched recess at the rear. At the time of the resurvey, the summerhouse was in dilapidated condition and is likely a remnant of the original outbuildings associated with Kirby Hall.
