lake
GV II
Boathouse, c1760. For Daniel Lascelles. Coursed gritstone blocks, some
almost megalithic, and outcrop. A rectangular structure approximately 2.5
metres wide and 7 metres long. Entrance on north side (from land) is a
narrow opening with large lintel and rebates and hooks for a hung door on
the inner side. The wall is composed of very large boulders and is built
between natural rock outcrops. The opening to the water is a shallow arch
with rock-faced rustication to keystone and voussoirs. Interior: side walls
are formed by the cut-back faces of the rock outcrops. The roof is a barrel
vault of dressed gritstone blocks. Plompton Rocks is well known as a
natural rock formation, but the boat house is one of several rock-cut
features which are contemporary with the laying-out and planting of the
Rocks as a pleasure ground for Daniel Lascelles when he was constructing
Plompton Hall (qv).
