Description
Walls and flower-bed curbs to the flower garden, 1833 to 1842, part of Charles Barry’s remodelling of Trentham Hall and Gardens for the 2nd Duke of Sutherland.
MATERIALS: constructed from limestone ashlar.
PLAN: the walls enclose the north, east and west sides of the roughly-square flower garden to the south of Trentham Hall.
DESCRIPTION: low walls with a moulded base and top, articulated by squat square pillars with fielded panelled sides. The east and west walls include a semi-circular seat at their centre, aligned with the west-east central axis of the garden. The seats match that to the north of the triple-arched pavilion (Grade II). The north wall has a set of steps at its centre which would have led up to the terrace between the conservatory and dining room of the main house. Each of the walls has an adjacent flower bed with curbed edges.
