GV II

Garden walling and ha-ha at two main levels: part of the landscaping of Nether Hall. Circa 1875 for Edward Greene MP. Flushed flint rubble with dressings of red brick. The upper level has walling about 1.5m high with 9 bays between piers. Two wide flights of limestone steps between bays 4 and 5, and 7 and 8 from the north. Each bay has a sunk panel of flint, and on each pier is a gadrooned vase on a limestone plinth. At the south end the wall returns eastwards for a short distance, and at the north end it returns twice, to be linked by a higher section of plain brick walling to the house. An arm at the north end links with the western ha-ha of similar design. This has open balustrading between piers bearing terracotta floral panels. The balusters are closely-set and of moulded brick. At the centre is a semi-circular section of about 10m radius, projecting westwards. At the north end the wall continues to incorporate a pair of gatepiers at the entrance drive and a short section returning to the stable block (see Item 2/101. Outbuildings of Nether Hall, The Street (south side), Pakenham, District of St. Edmundsbury).
