Description
The garden walls and tower at Hopton Hall date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of red brick featuring vitrified headers, with gritstone dressings. The tower has a low-pitched pyramidal roof made of graduated slate, with leaded ridges, and a small flat top that once supported a cupola. It also has a moulded stone cornice and is built on a square plan with two storeys.
On the south elevation, there are two sets of double panelled doors that have Gothic tracery fanlights above them. The second storey, which was formerly a pigeon loft, has all openings now blocked. Flanking the tower are three elongated semi-circular curves of wall, each approximately 10 feet high, topped with moulded stone copings.
