Description
The garden walls enclosing the orchard in the grounds of Bishopstrow House and the Coach House date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of brick in Flemish bond and English garden wall bond, topped with flat limestone coping. The walls stand approximately 4 metres high and extend about 150 metres from roughly 60 metres southwest of a tunnel, heading southeast towards the Coach House. This section features raking buttresses on the south side, along with round-arched and square openings. A shorter section, about 50 metres long, runs between the Coach House and Mill Lane, which includes a segmental archway. These walls are part of the gardens of the former Bishopstrow House, which was destroyed around 1800 and replaced in 1817 by the current Bishopstrow House located to the north of Warminster Road.
