Walls to The Vicarage and Glebe Cottage

The walls enclosing the garden of The Vicarage and Glebe Cottage in Barnard Castle are likely from the early 19th century, with a kitchen garden wall and gate piers added around 1852. These walls run along Newgate to the north, Parson's Lonnen to the east, the Demesne to the south, and the length of the garden to the west.

Constructed from rubble with ashlar piers, the walls feature quoins at the door on the southwest. The square piers at the entrance to The Vicarage have pyramidal ashlar coping. The wall along Newgate is approximately 1.5 meters high and has rounded, roughly dressed coping stones. The wall along Parson's Lonnen is about 2 meters high and includes an inserted entrance in its southern half. The west wall, which is high, has a brick lining at the north end for the kitchen garden. The south wall has a ramped raised section over a blocked doorway, with quoins at the southwest corner of the garden. This wall continues at a height of approximately 1.5 meters until it turns the corner to Parson's Lonnen, where it ramps up to meet the higher wall.

These garden walls are significant to the landscape and townscape. To the south, they are situated on high ground beside the River Tees and to the east of The Bank. To the north, they form the southern edge of the street and, along with the listed walls of Spring Lodge, Birch Road, and the Bowes Museum, help maintain the historic character of this approach to the town. Parson's Lonnen is flanked by these walls and the walls of Spring Lodge.
