Garden Walls And Attached Outbuildings And Belenus Shrine To North Of Belcombe Court

The garden walls and attached outbuildings, along with the Belenus Shrine, were built in the 1740s for Francis Yerbury, with later alterations. The Belenus Shrine was constructed in the 1840s for John Yerbury. The structures are made of coursed limestone rubble with dressed quoins, while the Belenus Shrine is built from limestone ashlar. The garden walls, measuring approximately 45 by 75 meters, feature ashlar coping and a stone lintel over a doorway to the southwest. There is an early 19th-century shed with a stone-coped pantile roof and a chamfered square-headed door to the south. A stable located to the south of the south wall has a stone-coped gabled pantile roof. The two-storey, four-window range on the south elevation includes a 19th-century door set in a chamfered stone architrave, diamond-latticed casements in two-light chamfered stone-mullioned ground-floor windows, and large one-light first-floor windows. The Belenus Shrine, located to the southwest, is designed in a Classical style, featuring a west front with a shaped gable and scrolled coping above a full entablature and pediment over the doorway, which is flanked by Tuscan pilasters and windows. The front and side gables have scrolled caps to the antefixae in an Indian style. A wall with a ramped square-headed doorway runs from the Belenus Shrine to the northwest corner of Belcombe Court. The Belenus Shrine is said to have been built for John Yerbury following his return from the first Sikh War in 1841.
