Garden Wall With Terraces, Gate Piers And Loggia At Hatch House

The garden wall with terraces, gate piers, and loggia at Hatch House is a formal walled garden dating from the late 17th century and 18th century, which was restored in 1908 by Detmar Blow. The walls are made of English bond brick with flat stone coping that sweeps up at the sides. On the east side, there are chamfered rusticated gate piers topped with ball finials and flanked by volutes, along with wrought iron gates. The garden features terraces on three sides, as well as additional terraces to the north of Hatch House, which include stone steps with chamfered rusticated gate piers that have urn finials. The loggia at the upper level has two round-arched openings with chamfered rustication, a hipped roof covered in fishscale tiles with ball finials, and a stone seat inside that is inscribed with the date 1658. This is a fine group of garden features that have been well restored.
