II
Pavilion. c1800, restored 1980s. Brick with pyramidal tile roof. Square structure with 2 round arches to each side. Cogged brick cornice, and ball finial to roof. Arches have square brick piers and pilasters, and narrow imposts to proud brick arches. INTERIOR has spine wall with bench to each side and embossed-tile paving; renewed roof timbers. There may have been an Anglo-Saxon fortification on this site, which is also the traditional site of the graves of 3 Christian kings who were killed in battle with King Penda, AD 288, and appear on the city seal. The present structure, built by 1804, replaces one built c1750, which probably replaced a C17 structure called the Temple. The hill was a place for walks and other entertainments; there is an extensive view of Lichfield. (Victoria History of the County of Stafford: Greenslade M W: Lichfield: Oxford: 1990-: P.7, 163).
