Description

This section of balustrading is located to the north-east of Witley Court and dates from around 1860. It was part of the original garden enclosure designed by the landscape architect William Nesfield for Lord Ward, the first Earl of Dudley. The balustrading is made of stone and forms a quadrant section that measures approximately 18 meters in total. It features a moulded plinth and capping, gadrooned balusters, and intermediate dice with raised panels, all of which contribute to its decorative design.
