History The Gazebo was built in the grounds of Rossall Hall, which until 1931 stood on the site of Rossall School Dining Hall: the gazebo was axially placed opposite the front door. Before the Reformation Rossall was a grange of Deulacres Abbey, Staffs, and was tenanted by George Allen, whose cousin was Abbot of Deulacres. George Allen's younger grandson was the famous Cardinal William Allen (1532-94), founder of the English seminary at Douai, who was born and brought up here. The Cardinal's elder brother, Richard, was the last heir male, and on his death in 1583, his widow and their 3 daughters forfeited their goods and property for recusancy and fled to the Cardinal's protection at Rheims. Rossall passed to Edmund Fleetwood, whose father had purchased the reversion of the lease at the Dissolution. Thence it descended through the Fleetwoods and the Fleetwood-Heskeths. until Sir Peter Hesketh- Fleetwood (1801-66) gave it to Rossall School in 1844.)
