Walls Attached To South Elevation Of Stable Block

The walls attached to the south elevation of the Stable Block at Dyrham Park date from the early 18th century. They are constructed of limestone rubble with stone coping. The wall extends from the south of the Stable for about 50 metres and stands approximately 4 metres high. It features a blocked segmental-headed opening to the north and a 20th-century door in a square opening to the south. At the south end, there is a curved retaining wall made of limestone ashlar with pilasters, which is about 1.5 metres high and 9 metres long, serving as a midden. These walls are visible in Kip's view of Dyrham and the water garden from 1712.
