Field Visit (20 June 2014)
NS 47911 85289 Located within the grounds (to the south) of a large 19th century mansion. Listed as an ‘early 20th century, square-plan boarded timber summerhouse with pyramidal thatched roof and overhanging eaves’. It’s listing also states, interestingly, that it was ‘formerly built onto a wheel mechanism which allowed the summerhouse to be rotated’. The structure is periodically used by the building owners and is in a good condition. The owner stated that they moved into the house in 1991, and had the summerhouse re-thatched in reed around 1992-93. The owner does not remember the name of the thatcher but noted that the reed came from ‘somewhere in England’. The thatch is netted around the top and also has a strip of netting down one corner. It is in fairly good condition with only some minor pieces of loose thatch in places.
