The Colonnade

Imposing single-storey colonnade in Georgian Gothic style, with balustraded parapet above; of Bath stone ashlar construction. There are 16 slender columns with a semi-circular projecting bow to the centre of the composition. Solid pavilions at both ends with archways with depressed pointed arches (that to the L blind). Balustrades over, pierced to the sides, and with turned balusters to the centre. To the L and R there are stone ogee domes over the pavilions with ball finials. Raised rear wall behind the central projection, surmounted by 3 large urns. Within, in the centre of the rear wall, is a stone ogee arched niche with painted northern-Renaissance style angel sculpture and swagged flanking cartouches.

The Colonnade is on a revetted rubble plinth with a flight of rubble and slate steps leading up to it from the lawn to the S of the Central Piazza.
