Description

The garden walls at Burnley Hall, including the icehouse, date from the early 18th century and enclose the garden on all sides. The east side of the walls connects to the house and provides access to the kitchen yard, where the icehouse is located. The walls are primarily made of brick, except for the south side, which is constructed from whole flints. The exterior features a plinth course and brick piers that extend up to a cornice, topped with rounded coping bricks. The interior is plain, with flat coping bricks. The south range also has coping bricks. The icehouse is accessed through a plain door in the east wall, leading into an arched tunnel that slopes downward to a tapering circular chamber with a domed roof. Above the inner lintel, there is a plaque that reads: J.B.H. 1818 (J.B. Huntington).
