Description
The Upper Terrace Wall, located in the garden before the south front of Tatton Hall, was built around 1860 by Sir Joseph Paxton. This terrace wall is made of sandstone and marble and features a central staircase flanked by sloping walls, each with its own staircase. The wall is rusticated and topped with moulded capping stones. The central staircase consists of 12 steps divided into two flights of 6 steps each, with a middle landing that has two low piers on either side. These piers support large marble urns that have gadrooned lower bodies, with vine trails around the upper bodies and egg and dart carvings along the lip. At both ends of the wall, there are similar large urns, along with four smaller vases that are simply carved with gadrooning running the length of the wall. Additionally, there are pairs of urns at the top of each set of abutting steps.
