Description
The folly or screen wall, located approximately 45 metres south of the Old Vicarage, was built in the early to mid-19th century for Reverend James Gifford. Constructed of brick in a Gothic style, the screen wall features a lean-to range at the rear that was formerly used as pig-sties. It is a single-storey structure made up of three adjoining sections. The central section includes an arcade of five tall round-arched recesses, which are adorned with a sill band and hood-moulds beneath a raised band and parapet. To the left, there is a three-stage square tower with a plinth, pointed arch recesses on each stage, raised bands between the stages, and a cogged brick cornice with coping. To the right, there is a section that is set back, featuring a recessed central area between end piers, slits, and a raised band, along with the remains of a wall that projects to the front at right angles.
