Ha Ha Wall And Gates To East And South East Of Barningham Park

The ha-ha wall and gates located to the east and south-east of Barningham Park date from the 18th century. Constructed from squared stone with cut dressings, the wall curves from the east end of the kitchen wing to a gate leading into the wood, with an adjacent gateway connecting the wood and deer park. The ha-ha continues south, running alongside garden terraces to the south-east corner of the garden.

The northern section of the ha-ha wall features chamfered coping and a gateway with small rusticated piers topped with ball finials. The second section has segmental-arched coping extending to the gate into the wood. Octagonal monolith piers support a wrought-iron gate, with six steps leading down between flat-coped walls. The adjacent gateway has massive roughly-arched monolith piers that hold double gates with fleur-de-lys tops on the bars and dogbars. The southern part of the wall, which runs steeply uphill, does not have coping.
