Walled Garden at South Ormsby Hall

The walled garden at South Ormsby Hall dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of handmade red brick laid in English garden wall bond and is located to the west of South Ormsby Hall. The garden has a large rectangular bottle-neck shape with high walls on the north, west, and south sides. The east side features a short section of wall at the north end, which is partially collapsed, and at the south end, with the central section formed by the rear wall of outbuildings in the stable courtyard, which is not part of the listing.

The exterior walls are topped with flat brick coping and pantiles, and there is a door on each side. The south wall includes a round arch doorway made of brick headers, with a recessed wooden door that has Y-tracery in the upper half, flanked by shallow buttresses. A similar doorway was originally in the north wall but was damaged by a vehicle during the Second World War and has since been rebuilt as a large square opening with double-leaf wooden doors. At the northern end of the east wall, there is a wooden door made of vertical planks with long strap hinges, set under a square arch of brick headers. The doorway in the west wall features a segmental brick arch and a slatted wooden plank and batten door.

Additionally, there is a low opening with a timber lintel at the north end of the west wall that allows a stream to pass through. Just south of this opening, on the outside of the wall, is a small brick lean-to shed with a pantile-clad roof, likely added in the late 19th or early 20th century. There is also a lean-to shed built into the south-west corner, which has a vertical plank door on the west side, though its roof has collapsed.

On the outside of the north wall, at the east end, there is a Victorian red brick lean-to with a pantile-clad roof and a wooden vertical plank door on both the east and north sides. Adjacent to this are lean-to sheds with four large openings and central brick piers. A 20th-century lean-to made of brick and corrugated iron at the west end of the north wall is not included in the listing.
