Description

The ha-ha, an early 19th-century feature designed by J B Papworth, is located 200 meters south and east of Cranbury House in Hursley. It consists of a brick wall topped with Portland stone coping and decorative urns. The ha-ha extends approximately 200 meters northwest of the house, then 200 meters southwest, before running west parallel to the south front of the house. It includes a 2-meter-deep ditch and a 3-meter-high brick wall with stone coping, with stone vases placed at 20-meter intervals. The section to the south of the house features early 19th-century wrought iron gates at each end, crafted by presumably Italian artisans. Additionally, there is a balustraded parapet with squat square piers topped by stone vases at 5-meter intervals.
