Description
The complex comprises walls, railings, and gates forming the street boundary of Number 11, The Vicarage. Dating from the 16th to 19th centuries, the materials are red brick in English and Flemish bond, and cast iron.
The boundary extends 128 metres to the northwest, then 17 metres to the southwest, and 52 metres to the northwest, then 63 metres to the southwest—a total length of approximately 297 metres. A section of the boundary, approximately 47 metres in length, runs parallel to the road, interrupted by vehicle gateways approximately 2.5 metres wide on either side of The Vicarage, and a small wooden gate to the east of the house. This wall is 1.5 to 2 metres high and constructed in Flemish bond, topped with a coping of moulded V-bricks. The vehicle gateway east of the house has two square brick piers, each with a moulded stone coping and ball finial. A single square brick pier with a moulded stone coping exists to the northeast of this gateway.
The railings are fixed to dwarf brick walls with stone copings, featuring plain square points. The iron double gates, situated in front of the main door, have dipped rails with scrolls above and a scrolled band across the middle. To either side of the gates are iron stanchions with internal scrolls and four finials. The gates are approximately 1.5 metres high, and the railings are approximately one metre high.
The wall along the northeast boundary is also in Flemish bond with a moulded V-brick coping and stands approximately 3 metres high. A section of this wall forms the rear wall of a lean-to building to the east of the house. The southwest boundary wall, which also forms the rear boundaries of numbers 3, 5, 7, and 9, is constructed in English and Flemish bond, with a similar coping, also approximately 3 metres high. This section contains the oldest brickwork and formerly bounded the garden of a mansion called Strangers, terminating near a former fishpond.
