Description
The garden walls located about 100 meters north of the stables at Thornham Park are designated as a late 18th century or early 19th century structure, likely extended between 1837 and 1838 according to plans by S. Smirke. These walls are constructed of red brick in a largely Flemish bond pattern and form a large rectangular area measuring approximately 70 meters by 80 meters, with an additional garden measuring about 30 meters by 70 meters that features canted angles away from the house. The walls stand about 3 meters high and are topped with triangulated coping. There is a central entrance leading towards the house, flanked by plain capped piers. A smaller section of the wall includes three similar openings and pilaster buttresses. The wall separating the two gardens incorporates lean-to glasshouses and 20th-century outbuildings, and it is slightly ramped up towards the center.
