3 Ranges of Garden Walling with Linking Ha Ha Piers and Gates South of Dalham Hall

Three ranges of garden walling with linking ha-ha, piers, and gates are located south of Dalham Hall, dating from the 18th century. A section of wall, standing 3 metres high, extends approximately 100 metres south from Dalham Hall and connects to a low ha-ha that leads to a second parallel section measuring 60 metres long, which is situated within 10 metres of the tower of St. Mary's Church. This second section then returns eastward for 50 metres, separating the churchyard from the grounds of Dalham Hall. The walling is constructed of red brick in an irregular Flemish Garden Wall bond, featuring slightly projecting piers at 5 metre intervals and moulded brick copings. At the corners, large square piers rise about 1.2 metres above the wall, adorned with moulded coping and cup-and-ball finials on plinths made of limestone. Some piers include sunk oblong rendered panels. Approximately 120 metres south of Dalham Hall, the wall decreases in height to form a ha-ha that is about 30 metres long, also with limestone coping. North of the church, there is a group of memorial stones dedicated to members of the Affleck family. The wall is interrupted about 15 metres south of Dalham Hall by a pair of wrought iron gates with side panels and brick piers.
