Description

The walls and wrought-iron gates to the Ravenscourt Park walled garden were built around the early to mid-18th century and modified in the late 19th century. The walls are made of red and brown brick, while the gates are elaborate ornamental wrought iron featuring scroll detailing, along with an overthrow and side panels. These gates are located on the south side of the walled garden and are flanked by tall brick piers.

The garden is enclosed by red and brown brick walls on three sides. The south wall runs between the gateway and the west end of White Lodge, which is also listed. The east wall, which runs along Paddenswick Road, is attached to the north end of the lodge and includes a later segmental-headed entranceway leading into the lodge’s private garden. A wall extends the entire length of the north side. On the west side and the western half of the south side, the original walls have been removed and replaced with hedging. The internal faces of the walls are supported by straight brick buttresses, and there have been various brick repairs and repointing over time.
