Description
The garden walls and railings to the Provost's House and Number 4 Churchyard in Bury St Edmunds date from the 18th and early 19th centuries. They are constructed from cast iron, red brick, flint, and stone rubble with brick dressings. At the front of the house, cast-iron spearhead railings are mounted on a low brick plinth, with short stretches of plain high red brick wall on each side. The walls surrounding the rear garden, which measure approximately 33 metres along the sides and 64 metres along the back, may be older than the front walls and are primarily made of flint rubble.
