Description

The garden walls adjoining to the north-west of Cockington Court are listed as a Grade II structure. These walls enclose the rose garden at the rear of Cockington Court and date from the late 17th century to early 18th century. The tall walls surround three sides of the garden, with the fourth side formed by the house itself. The south-west and shorter north-west end wall are constructed of English garden wall bond red brick, featuring weathered coping bricks, while the north-east side wall is made of local stone rubble with Roman tile coping. The walls include opposing segmental-headed arch doorways in the side walls and are part of a notable group of listed buildings within the park and the surrounding unspoilt village.
