GV II*

Also Known As: FRENCH HOVEL, WOLLATON PARK, WOLLATON PARK

Also known as: French Hovel WOLLATON PARK. Garden temple and attached bridge. c.1800, incorporating stucco/stone relief oval panels 1588. Red brick and ashlar. Roof; flat bitumen over lime-ash construction, plain sandstone coping to brick parapet. Single storey. 3 bays. To south-west, an open loggia, with steps up, with 2 outer Roman Doric pilasters and 2 columns (probably re-used from the late C17 orangery). Above, simplified timber cornice, painted. To north-east, a projecting niche with round-arched window. To north-west and south-east ends a segmental arch doorway, with 6 panelled doors, that to south-east adapted in late C19 with a wrought-iron decorative grille. INTERIOR has rendered ceiling and walls, with 8 late-sixteenth century oval plaster relief panels all with a floral border. Mythological scenes with interwoven figures including several scenes with horses and chariots, "barca" and sea-creatures (including a copy of Raphael's fresco "The Nymph Galatea" from the Villa Farnesina) and at least one battle scene. Origins appear to be C17, based on Italian Renaissance images. Floor; Yorkstone flags. Adjoining bridge, spanning the ha-ha, has a single elliptical brick arch and ashlar coping. The parapet walls fan out to meet the embankment. The high grade of this building reflects the importance of the plaster panels. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Nottinghamshire: London: 1979-: 279).
