Wilford Gazebo, Nottinghamshire (Wilford Village)




My own attempts to get a useable picture of Wilford Gazebo have not worked out, so this time I`m using a picture taken by Jonathan Thacker which I found on Geograph.

The Gazebo was built as a summerhouse for writer Henry Kirke White but came to have a slightly grisly alternative use as for a time the basement was used as a mortuary for those who had drowned in the Trent !

Once again, a building which others find too plain but which I rather like !
