Description

The garden walls, gate-piers, gate, and summer house located to the south of Trethinna Farmhouse are likely from the 18th century and mid-19th century. The low stone rubble walls, topped with flat slate coping, enclose the garden in front of the farmhouse. There is a pair of granite ashlar gate-piers from around the 18th century, which are square in shape and topped with pyramid caps, flanking a pair of similar gate-piers that are probably from the mid-19th century. In the corner formed by the walls on the front and left side of the garden, there is a small summer house from the mid-19th century. This summer house is open-fronted and features a slate corbelled roof made from large slabs of slate, with a rendered top. It has two timber posts at the front with ogee stops at the top and bottom, and trellis panels on either side of the central entrance.
