Description
The Sham Ruin, located about 230 meters south-southeast of Wall Hall, dates from around 1800 and was commissioned by G.W. Thelluson as a decorative feature associated with Wall Hall. This structure is built from brick and covered in cement render, showcasing a picturesque Gothic style. The main wall faces the house and is complemented by two return walls.
At the front, there is a ground floor pointed arch with a square hood mould, flanked by two blind lancets. Above this, a large, ruinous traceried window features mouldings that were inspired by the Church of St. John the Baptist. The ruin includes two-stage angle buttresses, and the rendering is incised to mimic the appearance of ashlar stone. The right return wall features a four-centred arched opening with a moulded surround.
