Description

The summerhouse, located in the grounds to the east of Shirenewton Hall, is an early 20th-century garden building designed in an oriental style. It features a distinctive swept pagoda-shaped pantile roof and is rendered and colorwashed. The building has moulded gable parapets with apex finials and a dragon motif at the center of the ridge. It includes wide eaves and kneelers, as well as a circular panel above a traceried oculus on the east gable end, with the entrance situated on the west side. In front of the summerhouse, there is said to be a marble sundial resting on a crouching monster.
