columns and the wall. The upper storey is of
brick with stone groins, and has a gable roof,
tiled, with a semicircular window. There is a

good instance of a
brick gazebo on the
Wey canal, about 6
miles from Wey-
bridge, dating prob-
ably from the begin-
ning of the eighteenth
century. This is a
large square building
with heavy projecting
eaves, and a curiously
hipped tile roof. It
stands at one end of
a raised walk some 7
feet high, with a solid
brick retaining wall
and parapet, which
overlooks the garden
on one side and the canal 011 the other. A
narrow strip of grass planted with flowers
separates the wall from the canal. In Lea Park
Lane, Guildford, there is a two-storey garden-
house, since converted to other uses, with a roof
of similar design. Buildings such as Walton
and Cotton's fishing-house at Beresford, in
Derbyshire (1674) (in stone and slate), and the
water pavilion at Wrest (brick with lead dome)
are to all intents and purposes garden-houses.
