Description
The retaining wall of the ha-ha is an 18th-century structure made of red brick in Flemish bond. It runs from the south corner of the garden of Holfield Grange in a north-westerly direction for approximately 150 metres, where it connects to a plain brick wall. The wall features 30 concave bays with small buttresses at the junctions and has a visible height of 0.90 metres above the bottom of the dry ditch. It is topped with brick on edge coping. This wall is associated with an earlier house on the same site as the current Holfield Grange, which was illustrated by J. June in "Excursions through Essex" in 1818, referred to as Oldfield Grange in the Essex Record Office.
