Description
The terrace retaining wall, ha-ha, and pedestals with urns are located approximately 150 metres south of the house at Polesden Lacey. Likely started in 1761, as indicated on the foundation wall, it was extended around 1800 for Richard Brinsley Sheridan. This structure forms the southern boundary of the garden at Polesden Lacey and features a limestone rubble retaining wall that is about 500 metres long and 1½ metres high, topped with a yew hedging parapet. The eastern half of the wall has a central projecting box and rectangular bays on either side, each containing a large gadrooned urn on a high pedestal.
