Summerhouse And Attached Archway Approximately 100 Metres North East Of Mansion House

The summerhouse and attached archway, located approximately 100 metres north-east of Mansion House in Allerton Mauleverer with Hopperton, dates from the late 18th century. It is constructed of rock-dressed stone and timber, featuring a stone-tiled roof. The structure includes a brick wall and archway at the south end. The summerhouse is single-storey with 11 bays on the rear wall, which has blind arches and heavy impost bands, topped with battlements and square pinnacles. The central bay and two side bays feature round-headed arches with panelled doors, while the central five bays are splayed forward. In front, there is a lean-to open-work trellis made of coupled, crudely dressed wooden posts that support the roof and are topped with ball finials. The attached brick wall, which has ashlar dressings, includes a panelled door set in a round arch that fills a wider and taller arch, complete with a triangular pediment and ramped walls above.
