Description
The Manor House garden walls, including two gates and gateways, date from the 16th century, were remodeled in the 18th century, and restored around 1912 for Sir Roger Sothern Holland. The walls are constructed of coursed rubble and feature 18th-century buttresses, standing approximately 3 meters high with plain coping. They enclose the garden to the south of the Manor House and are said to incorporate a tablet with a Cardinal's hat, indicating that the Manor belonged to Christ Church, along with the date 1561.
The gateway located immediately south of the dovecote is an 18th-century wrought-iron structure with an over-throw and side panels. This gateway aligns with the south entrance of the Manor House and features a flat arch, rubble piers, and sphinx capping. The wall extends around the garden to the east and south, connecting with the dovecote on the west side, which also includes a doorway and the northern section of the west wall.
