flues in the north-west side and a south-west gateway which
is advanced, has a segmental-headed recessed arch and a
raised coping (c.1750). The Gardener's Cottage is 3 x 1 bay

symmetrical, the outer one having a central door with plain
stone surround, a 2-light chamfered mullion window on either
side and 3 small casement above. The gables are coped with
kneelers and the ridge has a stone cornice coping. The
garden side has a central segmental-headed cart entry (now

chamfered mullion windows. J. Swarbrick, "Dunham Massey
