Description
The boundary wall to the former Greyhound Public House and St Margaret's Church in West Raynham dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of random laid flint with brick dressings. The wall runs in a straight line, with a short return to the north at the western edge of a driveway. After a gap, it continues as the south wall of the churchyard. Both sections of the wall feature a bold and unusual moulded brick coping, characterized by opposing ogee curves topped with a roll moulding. This wall is notable for its striking elaborate coping, which is likely re-used from a taller wall that was demolished at Raynham Park. It holds group value with the adjacent ruined Church of St Margaret, as well as with Nos. 24-28 The Street and The Post Office across the road. The wall is also part of a significant group with other mid and late 19th-century cottages opposite, which are examples of buildings from the Raynham estate.
