1/182 Bowling Green Pavilion approximately 100 metres south of Wood House GV II*

Pavilion. 1889-1905 by Thomas Mawson. Granite ashlar, more rubbley on the lesser sides. Plan and description: pavilion in a simple classical style like a loggia. It faces north-east, built across the hillslope and terraced into it. 3-bay arcade of plain round-headed arches on square-section piers interrupting a dripcourse at impost level. Each end wings break forward with similar round-headed arches in shallow square-headed recesses each front end. These end arches lead to steps rising over changing rooms each end of the arcade. Paved balcony on the top with an open balustrade with turned balusters identical to those used on the parapet over the hall of Wood House (q.v.). This pavilion is part of an extensive landscaping scheme conceived by Mawson to go with the rebuilding of Wood House (q.v.). Mawson himself considered the whole scheme as one of his major achievements. Source: T H Mawson The Art and Craft of Garden Making, (5th edition) includes copious notes and illustrations of Wood House.
