Mud walls to the rear of the Black Bull Inn

A group of vernacular mud walls originating in the late-C18 or early C19.

All of the walls are of mud construction with wooden copings. They enclose parts of the rear yard and car park of the Black Bull Inn across its entire northern boundary, and two parts of the eastern boundary.

To the north the wall is built on a rubblestone footing and the surface of the mud is covered in render.

To the east two sections of mud walling survive, joining the northern wall at a perpendicular angle. The two sections are divided by an area of missing mud wall roughly 7m in length. Both sections are built on stone footings. The northernmost section retains some render on its west elevation, and the southern section shows areas of surviving limewash.

The walls measure approximately 18.14m long and 1.78m high across the north side; 6m long and 1.65m high at the north-east; 3.74m long and 1.83m high at the south-east.
