Summerhouse. Circa 1820's. Wooden and with stone rubble rear and east side walls. Slate roof
with wooden pediments at ends. Rectangular plan Tetrastyle Doric temple with four unfluted
wooden columns on the east end and five on the south side, the north and east being blind
stone walls; wooden entablature with triglyphs in the frieze; large 12-pane sashes between the
columns on the south side and half-glazed door at the centre of the west side. INTERIOR:
Plain plastered interior; moulded window architraves. NOTE: The summerhouse was probably

Coombe, in the grounds of which it now is, was built in about the 1820's, was associated with
the Yarborough family and was the home, from 1930-59, of the poet and author Alfred Noyes,
1880-1959.
