Description
The wall forms a garden boundary at No. 93A, constructed around 1808, likely designed by John Pinch the Elder, the architect of the neighbouring Sydney Place. The wall is approximately 3.5 metres high and 40 metres long, built from limestone ashlar. It presents a decorative facade, reminiscent of the architecture of Sydney Place itself, as an arcaded design. The wall has fifteen bays, with projecting central and end pavilions featuring balustraded parapets. It incorporates blind arched openings; a fielded door is located centrally, set below a pediment, while arched niches are at the centre and ends, and blind rectangular openings punctuate the remaining bays. A frieze runs above these openings. Behind the wall is a modern mews house named "The Orangery." This elaborate screen wall demonstrates Pinch’s characteristic motif of blind windows within arches, found elsewhere on the Bathwick Estate.
