	Proposals for a boat and summerhouse designed by Plumbe for the River Meadow, Normansfield, dated 1879 [RIBA PB276/34(1-2)], illustrate a timber superstructure, with Gothic detail in the windows and in its almost aisle-like verandah. Typical of his generation, Plumbe was associated with a group of like-minded revivalist, Arts and Crafts inspired artists and craftsman and the completed boathouse is unusually lavishly decorated for a building of its type, where the majority are picturesque vernacular revival structures, with at most, applied and moulded timber decoration. Although there are no known drawings to confirm attribution to Plumbe, the interior of the boathouse closely resembles his theatre at Normansfield, echoing its carved and pierced pine ceiling. The external incised plasterwork - deeper than usual sgraffito - is more usually typical of decoration applied to larger or more elaborate buildings.

	Rowland Plumbe (1838-1919) was the youngest son of Ann Serena Plumbe, who had become interested in the plight of the mentally handicapped, because of the difficulties faced by her son Andrew Reed Plumbe (1835-1881). He was admitted to the Asylum for Idiots in Highgate, London, founded in 1848, and the first institution in Britain to provide ~~‘for~~ the remedial care and education of the feeble minded' (Knight, Now There is Hope, undated). The Asylum moved to Redhill, Surrey, later becoming Royal Earlswood Hospital. Through this connection Plumbe would have met Dr John Langdon Haydon Down.

	Plumbe was articled to NJ Cottingham and Frederick Peck, and in America to FC Withers, before setting up in practice in London, working in partnership with FM Harvey, CL Fleming-Williams and JCS Mummery. An eclectic architect, his output ranging from country houses to churches, he developed a particular interest in socially improving projects such as philanthropic housing - Queen's Park Estate, Paddington (1880, listed Grade II) for the Artisans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company - and hospital design - for example, Springfield Hospital, Wandsworth, built for 'Idiot' children (1895, listed Grade II) - gaining the reputation as a sound and competent architect.
