Description
The terrace and attached ha-ha wall located immediately south of Bretton Hall were likely constructed between 1811 and 1814 for Colonel Thomas Richard and Diana Beaumont. The structure is made of ashlar and features battered, vermiculated retaining walls with terminal buttresses. It includes a balustrade adorned with vase balusters and a heavy moulded rail. There are low, square ashlar piers with sunk panels and flat moulded caps that are decorated with acanthus carvings. The main piers are larger and have limestone panels featuring relief carvings of Italianate romantic figures. The retaining wall extends westward as the ha-ha.
