Garden Walls And Old Cellars To East Of Fallodon Hall

NU 22 SW NEWTON-BY-THE-SEA FALLODON

3/173 Garden walls and old cellars to east of Fallodon Hall GV II

Garden walls and cellars. C17 or early C18, altered. External faces of garden wall brick in irregular bond; other walls coursed rubble; cut dressings. The garden wall forms two sides of an enclosure bounded on the west by the Hall and the north by the Stable Block; the eastern (downhill) third of the enclosure is occupied by the remains of a range of cellars, partly filled in.

Garden walls 3-4 metres high externally, with slightly-arched stone coping. the wall dividing off the eastern part of the enclosure has a similar coping and a central gateway with banded pyramid-capped piers. The southern part of the roofless range has four segment-headed doorways on the west (one behind a stone stair) into parallel chambers retaining segmental barrel vaults of close-jointed stone.

It is uncertain whether the cellars are part of an original service wing to the present house, replaced by Dobson's early C19 wing, or of the earlier residence of the Salkeld family.
