Garden Walls To East Of Numbers 64 And 66, Spring Grove Garden Walls To Spring Grove, Newgate

The garden walls to the east of numbers 64 and 66, Spring Grove, are a Grade II listed structure located in Barnard Castle. These walls, originally part of the garden for the 18th-century Parsonage House, feature a design that includes walls and piers surrounding three sides of the garden. The walls are primarily constructed of rubble with ashlar coping and piers, and there is a brick leaf at the rear. The square piers along Newgate have stop-chamfered edges with roll-moulded stops and stepped shaped coping. The wall has flat stone copings, which are lower to the left of the piers and feature 20th-century wrought-iron railings, while the right side is higher and ramps up to mid-first floor height at the rear where it connects to the rear wing of number 66. The wall curves around a corner to Birch Road and connects to another wall on the west side of Birch Road. A wrought-iron gate, installed around 1971, features a scrolled leaf and flower design. These walls are included for their group value, reflecting their historical context as part of the former Parsonage House garden, which was depicted on a map from 1827.
