Description

The hot garden wall, located 150 metres south-west of Shrubland Hall, is a Grade II listed structure built around 1860 for Sir W.F. Middleton, Bart. This garden wall, designed to contain heated pipes for the cultivation of trained shrubs, has a segmental plan and measures approximately 40 metres long and 3 metres high. It is constructed of gault brick with limestone dressings.

The wall features pilasters at bay intervals that support square piers topped with enriched ball finials. Each bay includes pierced balustrading designed with linked quatrefoils. At the centre of the wall is a large niche with a scalloped head, above which is a moulded cornice and an open strapwork crown in the Elizabethan style. The structure is finished with a pair of archways, each containing an enriched lead vase, and a strapwork crown over each archway displays the monogram 'M', representing Middleton.
