Walled Garden To South Of Woodside

The walled garden to the south of Woodside is a 19th-century structure that served as the former kitchen garden for Ramridge Park. The south and east walls are made of chalk cob rendered with lime hair mortar, resting on a base course of flint and brick. The north and west walls are constructed from red brick, featuring English, Flemish, and Flemish garden wall bonds, with chamfered offsets below narrower upper sections and straight joints with the cob walls. The walls are approximately 2 meters high and have plain tile and stone coping, although the west wall has a replacement concrete coping. The garden is rectangular and includes iron fixings for espaliered fruit trees. There is a blocked entrance in the south wall with brick jambs and a timber lintel, a segmental-arched entrance at the south end of the west wall, and an enlarged opening in the north wall, with the north end of the west wall removed. The cob walls were built using a traditional piled method in about six lifts.
