of Hart Burn

Vicarage as grotto)

Grotto c.1760 by Dr. Sharpe. Tall circular chamber cut in sandstone cliff,
with twin domed niches above. Within chamber, walls of coursed roughly-
squared stone to rear (with chamfered pointed arch and two slits above) to
left (with similar unchamfered arch) and to right (with fireplace). A low
slab-roofed tunnel, now part collapsed, runs from the Grotto to the bank of
the stream; this is said to have been constructed to give bathers a covered
access to the water.
