Description
The walled garden, including a sundial, lies approximately 100 metres south-east of Tehidy House. Created as a kitchen garden for Tehidy House by Francis Basset, Lord de Dunstanville, around 1777–82, it is constructed of handmade brick. The garden is a very large double rectangular enclosure surrounded by walls approximately 4 metres high. The west garden walls feature pilasters at regular intervals, while segmental-headed doorways are present, some now blocked. The foundations and plastered rear wall of hothouses, likely built in 1780, are in the centre of the north side of the east garden. A long, shallow greenhouse with a steeply-pitched roof and a doorway at the east end is attached to the north wall of the west garden. A sundial of white stone, likely Portland stone, sits at the centre of the east garden. It features a square base and vase pedestal but is now missing its plate and gnomon. The rear wall of White Cottage adjoins the south-east corner of the east garden.
