Miles Griffiths Antiques Ltd has dated this piece to the Edwardian era.
This superb example was originally sited in a chapel grounds in West Yorkshire, a coal mining village, the summer house was used at chapel weddings for the happy couple to have their wedding photos taken with this as the back drop and also seated inside. Known as the No 10 model an Octagonal rustic Summer house, the outside in natural oak and larch, inside with the original comfortable seats and amazingly still with the lovely antique central twig table. The base / underside is in superb, solid intact condition as are the outer walls that just need slight repair. The three original stain glass windows are intact, a couple of small replacements needed. Inside is dry and clean, totally original. Ready for a new heather or thatch roof, the Henry & Julius Caesar catalogue states it would have been in heather originally. There is a lovely article on the history of the makers company here: https://thefollyflaneuse.com/henry-julius-caesar-rustic-house-builders/
