Description

The screen wall, possibly once part of a walled garden, is located to the southwest of the rear wing of Lytham Hall and is associated with an attached cottage now known as the Old School Room, along with a privy. The wall was constructed in two phases, likely in the 17th and 18th centuries, and has undergone alterations. It is primarily made of hand-made red brick, with the northern half, which appears to be the older section, built in a 4+1 English garden wall bond. The southern half, including the cottage, features 3 quarter-bonded stretcher courses alternating with pairs of headers.

The wall measures approximately 110 meters in length and stands about 4 meters high, with a plinth around 1 meter tall. The northern portion has large stepped half-height buttresses on the east side and a saw-tooth band near the top, with some modern common brick added above. The remainder of the wall has triangular buttress-pilasters.

The central section serves as the rear wall of an 18th-century cottage on the west side, which has a single-depth two-unit plan and a low two-storey facade with two windows. It features a segmental-headed doorway in the center and segmental-headed casement windows, with three lights to the left and two to the right, along with a ridge chimney and a rear doorway leading through the wall.

Approximately 30 meters south of the cottage, there is an early 19th-century lean-to privy. This privy has two-centred arched windows on each side, both sashed with intersecting glazing bars (though one window is damaged and lacks glass), a six-panel door in the east wall, and a wooden two-hole privy seat inside.
