Early C19. Rubble, flint, felt roof. A small hexagonal building with pyramidal roof set tight into the corner of the boundary walls to N and E of Upwey Manor (qv). The C20 plank door faces W, in moulded jambs to a basket-arch head. To the right, in a small parabolic arch is a 2-light casement in broad framing and a central mullion. All set to an offset plinth. The eaves are at approx 2.5m. INTERIOR: not inspected, but said to have a geometric mosaic floor made from horses' eye teeth. Much of the stonework is tufa-like in texture, and the whole building is in the best Romantic grotto tradition; the roof was presumably thatched initially. Listing NGR: SY6674484287
