Description
ST 85 NW WESTWOOD IFORD (north side)
6/232 Colonnade on Great Terrace in garden at Iford Manor
GV II
Colonnade linked by chains or balustrading. Circa 1910 by H.A. Peto. Limestone columns. Group of six Ionic columns on south side of terrace with entablatures, linked at ground level by balustrading at head of steps leading to lily pond, this group flanked either side by five free-standing columns with Tuscan-style capitals and ball finials, linked by chains from the capitals. To the west the colonnade continues with row of eight Tuscan columns with entablatures; this row matched by similar row on north side of terrace. Peto created this long terrace flanked by columns and planted borders, rebuilding in stone an earlier grass terrace. Several pieces of sculpture were placed here by Peto including the Greek sarcophagus (q.v.) and wellhead (q.v.). (E. Cartwright-Hignett, The Gardens at Iford Manor, 1985)
