Description

This brick wall, likely dating to the 1740s, originally served as a kitchen garden boundary at Combe Bank and now forms a property boundary for three later houses. The wall comprises two rectangular enclosures with a spur extending southwards.

The construction consists of red brick laid in English bond, rising to a height of approximately 10 feet, topped with a brick coping. A two-foot high plinth is made of Kentish ragstone rubble, with a further two-foot brick plinth above this. A corner pier with a stone cap marks the south-eastern corner.

Modifications have been made to sections of the wall. A section owned by Tranquil incorporates a 20th-century garage and a pedestrian opening, along with a brick buttress. The section bordering Barn Close features an early 20th-century arched opening, adjacent to a blocked round-headed arch near ground level. The wall is ramped up towards Redwalls, where there's a cambered pedestrian entrance and a cambered vehicular gate. There's also a round-headed arched entrance internally to Redwalls, and a garden shelter with a tiled roof and a built-in garden bench is incorporated at the north-west.
