Probably c.1835. Stone. Sited at the apex of the triangular garden, terminating the short vista from the house and backing on Brandlesholme Road and the converging, minor, Nabb's Way. Gothic in style, having the character of miniature castle on the rear, road sides and that of bare ruined choir on the front facing the house. Front symmetrically arcaded with narrow Gothic arches. Twin circular turrets behind. Rus- ticated walls of one-storey height to three sides of rectangular rear, with various pseudo-primitive carved heads and figures. Miniature arcaded covered way extends from left side along Nabb's Way and path. Of similar character to Tottington Dungeon.
