Walls And Iron Gates Of Walled Garden At Offley Place To North West Of House

The walls and iron gates of the walled garden at Offley Place, located to the northwest of the house, date from the 18th century or early 19th century, with the gates being from around 1777 and originally part of a chancel screen from the parish church. The walls are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and form a large polygonal enclosure, standing approximately 3 meters high on the south side and about 4 meters high along the road on the west side. The south side features pilasters in the western part and large buttresses with two offsets in the eastern part, topped with moulded brick coping.

Near the eastern end of the south wall, there is an iron screen and double gates designed in a Gothick style, complete with side panels and an overthrow adorned with scrolled cresting and quatrefoils. The bottom panels are elaborately designed with lozenge and quatrefoil shapes in the lock rails. The gates are supported by clustered columns with scrolled stays anchored to the ground behind, reflecting a detail similar to the remaining altar rail in the church.
