1/32 Grotto

G.V. II

Grotto, late C18, a long curved red brick barrel vaulted tunnel with side chamber, which would originally perhaps have been lined with wood and stone to form a natural looking cavern; there are still wooden fixings for such a lining in the stonework. The entrances are clad in randomly coursed limestone rubble and the semicircular entrance arches are contrived to appear quite natural.
