Description
This is a kitchen garden wall dating to approximately 1870, designed by Richard Norman Shaw. The wall is roughly 130 metres long and constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a red brick gable capping. There are 14 gabled brick buttresses punctuating the wall, and the west side is brick-faced. A pointed, double-chamfered gateway is located in the centre, featuring original heavy, panelled double doors. The north end of the wall steps up, connecting to an attached, earlier rectangular outbuilding.
The outbuilding is made of uncoursed limestone rubble and is now roofless, with buttresses on each of its long sides. Three segmental-headed brick openings at ground level have been inserted into the long sides, likely by Richard Norman Shaw. The outbuilding now encloses a sunken garden, but its stonework suggests a possible earlier connection to Preen Priory.
Preen Manor, built around 1870-1871 by Norman Shaw for Arthur Sparrow, was subsequently largely demolished and rebuilt. The wall and outbuilding are located approximately 15 metres south-east of the Manor. The wall features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
