Description
The gate piers, walls, mounting blocks, and dog kennel located to the south-west and west of the South Garden and the Manor House at Burton Agnes Hall date back to the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations from around 1730 and the mid-20th century. The dog kennel was built in 1859. These structures are made of pinkish-red brick arranged in English garden wall bond, featuring ashlar and brick dressings. The walls stand approximately 3 meters high and include a rubbed brick plinth, a dentilled cornice, and rubbed brick copings, which are bell-shaped in section or flat with chamfered ashlar coping.
The wall to the south of the South Garden has been raised and connects to the Gatehouse. The wall to the west of the South Garden contains a now-blocked 18th-century pedestrian entrance with a moulded ashlar architrave. The entrance to the stable yard features rebuilt gate piers that are square in plan, with moulded ashlar plinths, replacement moulded ashlar cornices, and pineapple finials, along with double ornamental wrought-iron gates in between.
To the south of the Manor House, the wall has gate piers at each end, also square in plan, with moulded ashlar bases and cornices. The western gate piers are topped with ball finials on shaped bases, while the eastern ones are adorned with winged eagles. There are two ashlar mounting blocks with three and five steps that abut to the south, and between them is an ornamental dog kennel built for Henry Boynton, featuring a plaque inscribed "HB 1859." The kennel has an ashlar plinth, quoined jambs to a blind entrance with a moulded hood and mask keystone, and a shaped gable topped with finials. The wall to the west of the Manor House rises above an 18th-century pedestrian entrance, which includes an eight-fielded-panel door set within an ashlar architrave with a keystone. At the north end, there is a blocked entrance with an elliptical arch.
