6/9 3 ranges of garden walling with linking ha-ha, piers and gates south of Dalham Hall

II

Walling, piers and wrought iron gates. C18. A section of wall 3 metres high runs about 100 metres southwards from Dalham Hall and is joined by a low ha-ha to a second parallel section 60 metres long, which passes within 10 metres of the tower of St. Mary's Church. This section returns eastwards for 50 metres, dividing the churchyard from the grounds of Dalham Hall. Walling of red brick in irregular Flemish Garden Wall bond with slightly projecting piers at 5 metre intervals and moulded brick copings. At the corners, large square piers rise about 1.2 metres above the walling; moulded coping, and cup-and-ball finial on plinth, all of limestone. Some piers have sunk oblong rendered panels. 120 metres south of Dalham Hall the wall is reduced in height to become a ha-ha about 30 metres long with limestone coping. Set into the wall north of the Church is a group of memorial stones to members of the Affleck family. The wall is broken about 15 metres south of Dalham Hall for a pair of wrought iron gates with side panels and brick piers.
