Description

The wall enclosing the garden to the left and rear of Ouslethwaite Hall is a garden wall built in the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in English Garden Wall bond, with the external face partly dressed in sandstone and topped with ashlar copings. The wall surrounds two gardens adjacent to Ouslethwaite Hall, rising with the ground from the rear-left corner of the house and forming a division between the two gardens while incorporating a lean-to garden shed. The front wall to the left of the house features piers and throughstones, with curved corners at the left end of the garden. The copings curve upwards to the rear wall, which stands 3 to 4 metres high and includes the original 6-panel door near the junction with the dividing wall. There are similar doorways with dressed surrounds that lead into the stone-roofed garden shed and to the garden at the rear of the house, where the wall continues in the same style to connect with the rear-right corner of the house's wing. This wall is included for its group value with the hall.
