GV II
Grotto. Early C19. Stone rubble, roof may have been formerly thatched. Rectangular
plan. Single storey. The front wall rises as an irregular rustic stone screen wall
with an asymmetrical profile. Simple round-headed entrances on the front and the
left return.
Interior Walls and roof entirely studded with shells. Niches to the walls, groin
vaulted roof.
In the early C19 Hayne was the site of some consciously antique ceremonials recorded
by J.B. Wollocombe in his history of Stowford parish. A quarry in a part of the
grounds known as "the Wilderness" was adapted as a picturesque meeting room for the
local hunt and a stretch of ground to the south east of the house is said to have
been used for archery.
