Description

The western section of the park boundary wall at Wollaton Park dates from around 1697 and underwent restoration in the early 19th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick laid in Flemish garden wall bond and features a continuous gabled brick coping. The wall stands approximately 2.24 meters high and extends about 1300 meters in length. A gateway from the 20th century has been cut through the wall opposite Wollaton Rise. This section is part of the original park wall built for Sir Thomas Willoughby between 1690 and around 1720. It is depicted in a painting of the park by Jan Siberechts from around 1697 and is mentioned by Daniel Defoe in his "Tour through England and Wales," published in 1724, where he describes the park as being "walled in with a new brick wall."
