Walls, Gate Piers And Gates Forming Forecourt, And Walls, Gazebos, Gate Piers And Gates Forming South Garden To Packwood House

The structure consists of walls, gate piers, and gates that form the forecourt, as well as walls, gazebos, gate piers, and gates that create the south garden of Packwood House. These features date from the mid-17th century and were restored in the 20th century. They are constructed of red brick, with rusticated brick gate piers located at the center of the east side, accompanied by wrought iron gates.

The walls, gazebos, gate piers, and gates of the south garden are also made of red brick. The north-east and north-west gazebos have old plain-tile pyramidal roofs, while the south-east and south-west gazebos feature flat roofs with old plain-tile edges. The south walls create a raised terrace that includes bee-boles on the south side. Central rusticated brick gate piers with wrought iron gates and overthrows are present on the south and west sides, with the west side gates dating from the early 20th century.

The south-east gazebo is likely from the early 20th century and has round-arched doorways on the west and north sides. The south-west gazebo, probably from the mid-17th century, features round-arched doorways on the east and north sides, along with a painted wood bench and a stone round table inside. An oval window on the south side has a shell surround on the inner face. The north-east and north-west gazebos, likely from the mid-17th century, also have pyramidal old plain-tile roofs. The overall structure includes a two-storey, single-bay range with plank doors on both the ground and first floors facing the garden, and moulded brick cornices. The interiors have not been inspected.

Historically, this structure was likely built by John Featherston, who is also believed to have planted the Yew Garden, which is traditionally said to represent the "Sermon on the Mount."
