Description

The garden wall, located to the southeast of the Old Rectory, is likely from the 18th century. It is constructed of squared stone with cut dressings. The tall wall connects to the southwest corner of the Old Rectory and features flat coping that is swept and stepped down before returning south along the west side of the garden. The coping ramps down over a boarded door, and in the longer section of the wall south of the door, the coursing follows the slope of the land. This wall is included for its group value with the Old Rectory.
