The Pink Cottage, set in woodland adjacent to Temple Wood at Weston Park

The Pink Cottage dates from the eighteenth century and was built close to the brickyard, where clay was extracted and fired into bricks for the rebuilding of the mansion in the 1670s. Elizabeth Simpson, Lady Bridgeman - wife of Sir Henry, fifth baronet - used the Cottage as her own retreat in the late eighteenth century and her diaries describe how the Cottage was the place in which she would read, paint and take tea. Single storied, the building was originally thatched and the present graded-tiled roof dates from the mid-nineteenth century
