Description
The skating pond lining and tank, located approximately 150 meters to the north-north-west of Beningbrough Hall, was built around 1900 for the Dawnays of Beningbrough Hall. It is constructed of stone and features an irregular square-ended gourd-shaped plan. The pond has a shallow stone lining with an iron grille over a drain located on the south side. Adjacent to this drain is a stone slab that covers a tank. The design of the pond likely allows skaters to move in a figure of 8. Water for the pond was pumped from the River Ouse using a pump house. The structure was built between the surveys for the 1893 and 1907 Ordnance Survey maps. There is also a second skating pond to the south-west of the hall, which is now partly infilled.
