The Doncaster architect William Lindley (about 1729 - 1818) designed The Round House in about 1805 as a deer shelter in Parlington Park. There are four open Gothic arches and four blind arches. It had a thatched roof with a weather vane on the summit.
It was a Gothic picturesque feature in the landscape and surrounded by a ring of trees.
Part of the building collapsed in January 2010.
