Garden Walls Enclosing Three Paddocks To North, South And East Of Thornton Hall

The garden walls enclosing three paddocks to the north, south, and east of Thornton Hall are likely from the 17th century and are constructed of coursed rubble. These walls stand between 1.75 and 2.0 meters high and feature some rubble along with flat coping stones. The outer wall, which is adjacent to a detached brick outbuilding to the north of the hall, extends north for 45 meters, east for 70 meters, south for 160 meters, west for 50 meters, and then returns north for another 70 meters to connect with the garden front of the hall. The paddocks are separated by two walls, each 50 meters long, running from west to east; the northern wall is next to the garage at the rear of the hall, while the southern wall starts 30 meters south of the hall. These walls are rare and well-preserved examples, included for their group value.
