Description

The boundary wall to the south of The Woodlands at Combe Abbey dates from around 1770 to 1778 and features later alterations. It was designed by Lancelot (Capability) Brown. Constructed of red brick, the wall has coping in parts and remnants of bases for urns. It extends southeast from The Woodlands to the edge of The Pool and stands approximately 2 to 3 meters high, although there are occasional gaps or areas of collapse. This wall was originally built by Brown along with the wall to the north of The Woodlands to enclose the land bordering The Pool, which he had created as a Menagerie. The area is referred to by this name, and the wall is depicted in a plan from 1778.
