Description

Rossway Home Farm Walled Garden is a kitchen garden wall built around 1800. It is constructed from hand-made, wire-cut bricks in an irregular bond, with some bricks being burned. The wall stands 8 feet high and is 1.5 bricks thick, forming a rectangular perimeter around the kitchen garden. It features regularly positioned shallow buttresses on the exterior and is capped in various ways, including a continuous row of bricks placed on end, a stretch of slender flat copings that curve up, and a stretch of angled copings. The wall includes arched openings and decorative iron gates. This structure has group value.
