Description

The kitchen garden wall located about 400 meters south of Wrotham Park dates back to the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick, featuring some burnt headers. The wall forms a nearly square quadrangle, with each side measuring between 90 meters and 100 meters in length. Its height varies from 2 meters to 3 meters and includes small, regularly spaced buttresses. There are openings on the west side, and on the inside of the north wall, there is an extensive range of lean-to glass houses.
