Description
The garden wall between Garden Cottage and Duke's House was built around 1873 and is made of rubble. It is approximately 150 yards long and stands between 7 to 10 feet high. At the west end, there is a gateway next to the stables of Garden Cottage, featuring rock-faced ashlar gate piers topped with balls. This section of the wall includes remnants of an earlier house, believed to be where the Duke of Somerset sought refuge after the Battle of Linnells Bridge in 1464. Moving east, there is another gateway with a solid moulded ashlar doorway, which has a modillion cornice and crested capping above. The gateway leading to Duke's House is wide and is flanked by S-curved walls, with ashlar piers that have pyramidal caps and crenellated cresting. The wall continues further east to a back garden gate for Duke's House, which features a tall gabled gateway with a blind trefoil in the gable above an ogee-headed doorway. The wall steps up to meet the gable.
