Elaborately Coped Wall To Former Greyhound Public House And St Margarets Church

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.
