Walled Garden, 100 Metres North Of Tostock Place

TL 96 SE TOSTOCK CHURCH ROAD

5/161 Walled garden, l00m north - of Tostock Place

-- II

Walled garden, early or mid C19. Built to serve Tostock Place. Red brick in stretcher bond, entirely of half-brick thickness. All four sides are of serpentine plan, known as crinkle-crankle walling. Rectangular form, about 40 x 25m. Walling about 2m high. At east ends of north and south walls are pedestrian gateways: the latter retains a simple wrought iron gate. Crinkle- crankle walling gives stability to half-brick walling, to a greater height than would otherwise be possible; and gives added shelter for plants trained against it. Only a small number were built in late C18 and early C19, and mainly in Suffolk. In poor condition and partially collapsed at date of survey. Tostock Place is not a listed building.
