Gothic Belvedere, formerly in the grounds of Sketty Park House, now amid modern houses, Saunders Way, Sketty, Swansea, Wales, UK


The most significant of the villas was Sketty Park House, built c. 1810 for the Morris family from the materials of Clasemont (1775), Sir John Morris of Morriston’s seat evacuated by the family once the fumes from their tinplate works became unbearable. Sketty Park House was itself demolished c. 1973, but a large Gothic belvedere from its ornamental grounds survives on a tree-covered mound in Saunders Way.
