Wall And Summerhouse, 30 Metres West Of Hardwick Hall Hotel

The garden wall and summerhouse, located 30 metres west of Hardwick Hall Hotel, date from the mid-18th century. The wall is constructed of narrow red brick in English garden wall bond and runs approximately 100 metres west from the west return of Hardwick Hall. It features a small summerhouse about 35 metres from the eastern end. The wall stands about 4.5 metres high and includes brick piers at 6.0 metre intervals, with mainly rebuilt upper courses and flat stone coping. The summerhouse has a pedimented design and is distyle in antis, slightly projecting forward, supported by Tuscan columns with necking bands. A 30-metre section to the east has been altered with later buttressing and is not considered of special interest.
