Description

The gazebo, built in the late 16th century, is made of red sandstone ashlar and features a pyramid slate roof. It is situated at the corner of garden walls, with one storey above a basement. The structure has a three-bay arcade with a return on one side. The central opening is approached by steps and is round-headed, surrounded by a lozenge frieze, which is also found on the flanking arcades. These arcades feature a frieze of triglyphs and lozenges, topped with a crenellated parapet. Inside, there is a king post roof with struts. Flanking the gazebo are red sandstone random rubble walls, approximately 4 metres high, extending about 30 metres to the left and 50 metres to the right. This gazebo was likely used for alfresco dining and is an unusual survival from its time.
