Description

The walls bounding the north sides of The Vineyard in Home Park are garden walls dating from the early 17th century. They were laid out by the 1st Earl of Salisbury and form three sides of a U plan on the north side of the River Lee. The walls stand about 4 metres high and are set back in the centre of the north side within a semi-decagon recess. The flanking walls feature deeply sloping buttresses at regular intervals.
