Description
The garden wall adjoining The Old Rectory to the southwest is a late 18th-century structure made of red brick. It features a curved design that connects the southwest corner of the house to a pier on the road frontage. From this pier, the wall extends approximately ten meters westward along the edge of the road. The wall stands about two meters high, except for the western part of the road section, which was lowered in the 20th century to about half a meter. The taller section of the wall is topped with rounded bricks. There is a flat-arched entrance in the curved section, which was added in the 20th century. This wall forms a pair with another listed structure.
