Description
The garden wall at the rear of numbers 14, 16, and 18 on Church Street in Saffron Walden dates from the mid-19th century.

The wall stands about 3.5 meters high and features a battered plinth topped with a pilaster buttress. The northern end of the wall has a base made of flint and rubble, along with one battered buttress. A prominent central plaque on the wall is inscribed with the initials J.C. and the year 1849.
