Description

The garden wall located to the south-west of Windlestone Hall, along with its gate and gateway, likely dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is constructed of English garden wall bond brick, featuring ashlar dressings and coping. The wall stands approximately 3 meters high and stretches about 100 meters long, descending the hill to the south of Windlestone Hall. It has a flat stone coping adorned with some ball finials. At the south end, shallow pilasters flank a round-headed gateway, which includes an ashlar keystone set in a brick arch. The wrought iron gate is made of square-section rods and dogbars, featuring central and top bands with a diamond pattern, side stays, and spiked bars in a semicircular space above the gate.
