Building record 0446503017 - Gothic alcove, West Wycombe Park

There are the ruins of a small chapel (perhaps a folly) of flint and brick in the woods to the north side of the Pepperpots Bridge. There were low walls surrounding the chapel grounds that have now been reduced to rubble [Photo](B27).
In the E part of the park, laid out after 1770, nearby [the Temple of St Crispin is] the Gothic Alcove seen in Daniell's view of 1781 (B28).
A small alcove with pointed archway located slightly south of St. Crispin's and similarly shown in Daniell's 1781 view of the new lake. The ruins of this structure (perhaps also the work of Nicholas Revett) are still visible. The building referred to by a number of authors as a boathouse, has a now dry water channel, 3m wide and 1.4m deep lying to the south, but the building appears to have been left in a deliberately ruinous condition in the style, perhaps, of a gothic folly at the southern limit of the garden (B13).
