Description
The boundary walls to the garden of Abbey House, located to the west and south, along with a cross wall at the right end of the original ranges, date from the early 16th century. These walls are constructed from brick and feature some decorative patterning with burnt headers. They have rounded capping, and the cross wall at the right end of the original range includes a four-centred arched opening. The front boundary wall, which faces south, rises to a higher level where it meets the cross wall.
