Description
The front wall to the grounds of the Gascoigne Almshouses, with gatepiers at each end, is a retaining wall that supports the raised ground of the front garden. It was likely built around 1844 and is probably designed by the architect George Fowler Jones, who also designed the Gascoigne Almshouses. The wall is made of dressed magnesian limestone and is approximately 130 meters long. It features projecting battered piers at regular intervals, and at each end, there is a pair of square gatepiers that are battered in the lower half. These gatepiers have weathered pyramidal caps and ogee finials.
