Garden Walls at Tory Farm

The garden walls at Tory Farm are a boundary wall dating from the 17th century, made of grey granite. The wall stretches approximately 24 metres and marks the front and south western boundary of the front garden. Its height ranges from about 0.75 metres to 1.5 metres, depending on the slope of the ground to the south west. The construction features roughly coursed granite blocks, large corner quoins, moulded and shaped ridge-backed coping stones, and four shaped finials. There are two square gate piers, each about 2 metres tall, made of granite ashlar and topped with monumental moulded and shaped finials. A section of wall to the north east, built from granite random rubble, is believed to be of later date and not significant. The walls are stylistically dated to the 17th century and are thought to be associated with an earlier building that once stood on the site of the current farmhouse, which was destroyed during the siege of Falmouth in the Civil War in 1646.
