Gazebo, Stowey Court

Now a prominent landmark on the Nether Stowey by-pass, this gazebo or brick summer house was built on the garden wall of Stowey Court in the 18th century allowing the occupants a fine view of traffic up and down St Mary Street. Reputedly a passage under the garden allowed the family to access the gazebo in wet weather.
