Description

The garden wall of Ford House is a boundary wall that may date back to the early 18th century but was raised later, likely during the extensions and remodelling of Ford House in the late 19th century. The wall is constructed from stone and brick, featuring rough rubble in the lower courses, with well-coursed and squared rubble in the upper sections, topped with brickwork that is divided into panels by pilasters.
