Walls And Gates Enclosing The Garden To East And North Of Lanhydrock House

The walls and gates enclosing the garden to the east and north of Lanhydrock House were built in 1857 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, likely with the assistance of his pupil R. Coad from Liskeard, for Thomas James Agar, who became Baron Robartes of Lanhydrock in 1869. The walls are constructed from granite ashlar, with the lower part on the outer side made of stone rubble. The gates are made of cast iron.

The walls form a boundary around the garden, connecting the Gatehouse to the House and attaching to the coach house at the south. On the west side of the north garden, there is a flight of steps that lead up to the Church of St Hydroc, ramped over an ornamental seat. The walls are low and feature an embattled parapet that steps with the garden's terracing, with piers at intervals topped by obelisks with ball finials.

The south range includes a single cast iron gate and measures about 40 metres in length. The east range connects to the gatehouse and runs continuously along the front of the garden. The north range returns for about 40 metres, with piers featuring obelisks at the corners. The wall continues to enclose the north garden, which measures approximately 30 metres by 50 metres, and includes a gateway with a cast iron gate in the north range. In the west range, there is another flight of granite steps ramped over an ornamental seat, featuring a 4-centred arch and a granite bench, with an embattled parapet above and piers with obelisks and ball finials.
