Listed Building record MDR23844 - Gardener's Bothy, Glapwell Hall, Glapwell

Gardener's bothy, Glapwell Hall, Glapwell, a late 18th century building. The 1st edition 25" OS map of c1876 records a formal walled garden to the northeast of the hall and a two bay building which matches the size and plan to the current bothy. There is no evidence of the walled garden on previous maps, suggesting it dates between 1835 and 1876. The bothy consists of two unequal bays lying corner to corner with the walled garden. It is a two bay, two storey building constructed largely in coursed squared sandstone and brick under a pitched roof clad in Welsh Slate and modern box profiled tinned sheets. The Welsh slate roof is finished with sandstone copings. The interior of the building is largely derelict. The interior consists of two unequal bays with the northern bay being the smaller of the two. The walls and ceilings are lime rendered and plastered confirming that the building may have had a residential use previously. The building was formerly a pavilion or terminal feature within the gardens of the now demolished Glapwell Hall. There is no substantial evidence to confirm the date indicated by the listing description.
