Description
The garden walls to the west of Barforth Hall date from the late 17th century. They are constructed from coursed rubble with cut dressings and have remnants of flat slab coping. The north wall stands 2.5 metres high and connects at the eastern end to an altered garage block next to the Hall. At this end, there is an old pent privy with a flush-panelled door on the inner face. The coping at the western end is stepped up. The lower west wall, which runs along the top of a slope, features a central boarded door set in a chamfered surround with a flat-pointed head within a square frame. The south wall includes a boarded door that leads to sheds on its external face. The garage block, a range of sheds on the south side of the south wall, and the lower curving wall at the eastern end of the south wall are not of interest.
