Background
History
Kettlethorpe Hall is a Georgian house on the outskirts of Wakefield, built by the Pilkington family It is a two-storey building constructed of stone, and contains Doric columns. The first floor keystone showed the date of construction as 1727. In the West Riding of Yorkshire volume of Pevsner Architectural Guides, Nikolaus Pevsner described the boathouse as "the most precious of all boat houses". In 1996, the remains of the boathouse were removed from the grounds of Kettlethorpe Hall by Wakefield Council, who put it into storage. The remaining stones of the boathouse became a scheduled monument, and in 2014, they were put into the secret garden at Thornes Park in Wakefield.
