Kitchen Garden Wall And Loggia To Westbrook House

The kitchen garden wall and loggia at Westbrook House date from the early to mid 18th century and are attached to the 17th-century porch of the house. The wall is constructed of English garden wall brickwork, set on stone courses that rise to approximately 3 meters overall. It runs about 25 meters to the west and features an inset 17th-century stone doorway with a four-centred moulded head near the eastern end, along with a wide plank door with a segmental head at the left-hand side. Half of this section is now hidden by a later swimming pool enclosure. The wall continues south for about 36 meters before returning approximately 26 meters on an east-west alignment, with all three outer corners designed in a curved plan. Centrally attached to the south side of the return is a three-bay loggia, which has a wide pediment supported by four slender fluted cast-iron columns, with an additional column on each return.
