Gazeboes SE 309 713
The property on Park Street, Ripon, was owned by the Baynes family from 1679 until 1791 and the gazeboes may have been built by Richard Baynes. In 1719, his will referred to the burgage as 'Cupola Close'. An 18th century map does not show the terrace linking the two pavilions and it may have been built later.
The Gazeboes were restored in the 1980s.
