Garden Walls, Terraces And Pergola To Rear Of Crooksbury Houses

The garden walls, terraces, and pergola at the rear of Crooksbury House were built between 1890 and 1900 by G. Jekyll. The structure features red brick walls and red brick tiles on the pergola, which has timber roofing and stone slab steps and paving. The upper terrace is rectangular and has brick retaining walls, with a flight of brick steps on the left leading down to a parallel, stone flagged lower terrace. This lower terrace leads to a rectangular pergola, which is constructed with thin brick tiles laid on edge, stone coped plinth walls, and stone paving. The pergola is supported by eight square piers with wooden timbers laid across the top in a crossed pattern. The garden is recognized as historic by the Garden History Society.
