Yes – a swimming pool! As we think ahead to Summer, one’s thoughts turn to an outdoors swim, but the greeny waters of this pit are perhaps not so inviting.
However, three hundred years ago, this pit, which has brick steps leading down into it, was the very latest in outdoor bathing.
This ‘bathing-pool’ sits in the gardens of Sinai Park House, the Jacobean mansion just outside Burton. The house and grounds are slowly being restored.
