Description
The terrace walls and steps to the parterre garden east of Blickling Hall were laid out in 1872, designed by W.E. Nesfield and Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. The garden features red brick walls with moulded copings and plain piers. The piers on the east side are topped with ball and urn finials. The walls include recessed shelters with blind semicircular headed arcading and panelled piers that have gadrooned urn-finials. Central stone steps lead up to the east, flanked by a pair of herms positioned against the terrace walks. At the upper level, the steps are accompanied by a pair of recumbent figures that are half female and half beast.
