Summerhouse. Late C18, restored c1987. Squared sandstone rubble, with ashlar upper storey. Slate roof. Octagonal plan. 2 storeys above a cellar. Built against a garden wall, with a doorway on the south-east side. On the ground floor there are windows on the 3 sides to the right of the doorway. They have glazing bar sashes which appear to be C20 reproductions of the originals. The first-floor windows are similar and have a sill band. The southern side (to the left of the doorway) has a blind recess. Stone gutter cornice and central octagonal ashlar chimney cap. INTERIOR: contains a cantilevered stone stair with iron stick balusters and a mahogany handrail. A second flight of stone steps leads to a barrel-vaulted cellar. On the first floor is a cast-iron fireplace surround with a hob grate and boiler. HISTORY: not shown on Stephen Mackereth's map of 1778, but appears on J Walker's engraving of Lancaster Old Bridge in 1797. Clark, writing in 1807 about the adjoining Wery Wall (qv), said that 'A fragment of this wall is yet to be seen, adjoining the garden of John Ford Esq. part of which... sustains the north wall of his summer-house, adjoining the Vicarage Field.' (Centre for North-West Regional Studies Occasional Papers: White A & Shotter D: The Roman Fort and Town of Lancaster: Lancaster: 1990-: 8).
