Denbigh Cockpit

Denbigh Cockpit is a circular structure built with stone rubble walls and topped with a thatched roof. The walls feature a single doorway and twelve wide unglazed rectangular openings positioned at eaves level. At the top of the roof is an iron weather-cock.

The roof has a complex timber construction, including a cross-beam that spans over thirty feet. Some defective timbers were replaced during the building's re-erection. A crown-post rises from the main cross-beam to support a 12-sided conical roof. Before the re-erection, there were no internal fittings remaining, so these have been reconstructed to create a circular stage surrounded by a gangway. The seating area rises in two tiers to a railed promenade. Additionally, there are four niches in the circular wall at promenade level, and the circular gangway and entrance passage have stone pitched floors.
