Garden Wall to the Old Palace, with Gates and Overthrow

The garden wall surrounding the Old Palace, which is now mostly part of a car park, dates from the mid-18th century, with some sections possibly being older. The wall runs along the south, west, and east sides of the garden. The gateway is likely from the 18th century, while the gates and overthrow are later additions. Constructed from bedrock, coursed sandstone rubble, and brown brick, the wall features wrought iron elements. The south wall is made of stone, partly resting on exposed bedrock, and has a parapet made of old brick. The gate piers are made of brick and have replaced ball finials. The iron gateposts are adorned with vase panels and Greek vase finials, and the gate itself is simple, with square dogbars, main bars, and rectangular rails, topped by a scrolled overthrow with a central spear. The west wall consists of coursed sandstone and old brick, also on bedrock, while the east side is entirely brick. The wall has simple stone copings and varies in height from 3 to 5 meters.
