Description
The brick garden walls at Alderley Mill Cottage and the Apple House date from the early to mid 17th century and were built for Sir Thomas Stanley. They are constructed from red brick in English garden wall bond, featuring weathered stone coping and stone quoins at the corners. The walls create a trapezium shape, enclosing the two former garden houses located at opposite corners. Standing approximately 2.5 meters high, the walls have stepped square brick buttresses on the exterior and raking triangular buttresses on the interior. The circuit of the walls is mostly complete, with the exception of extensions to the two garden houses and two additional gates, aside from the fine stone piers that are listed separately. This structure was part of a large formal 17th-century walled garden associated with the Old Hall. The walls are listed for their group value.
