Boundary And Retaining Walls, Steps, Urns, Basin And Gates Of Gardens To South And West Fronts Of Weston House

The boundary and retaining walls, steps, urns, basin, fountain, and gates of the gardens to the south and west fronts of Weston House date from the mid-19th century. The retaining walls are made of rusticated ashlar stone and are arranged in terraces across four levels, descending from the house to a walled, semi-circular lawn to the south, connected by nine sets of parapeted stone steps. The perimeter features balustrading, with a small semi-circular bay to the west and a stepped dais for the Garden House to the east.

On the east front, there is a solid wall with scrolled consoles, moulded dies, and ball finials on the higher abutment against the house, featuring even quoins and a wrought iron gate in the Greek Revival style. Throughout the garden, urns are placed on dies and pedestals, showcasing gadrooned bases and an egg and dart rim. A fountain is located centrally to the west, designed in a quatrefoil shape with putti at the center, and a circular stone basin to the south, which has a coved form with a reeded base, woven papyrus sides, and a cabled rim.
