Two Boundary Walls To East And West Sides Of Grounds At Priory Lodge

Two boundary walls flank the east and west sides of the grounds at Priory Lodge. The main section of the wall, located to the east of the house along Market Street, dates from the early to mid 19th century. This massive ashlar wall stands approximately 20 feet high and is stepped down the hill. It features a moulded cornice and parapet that also steps down the hill, with each section of the wall containing three large blind recessed panels, some of which are round-headed and others square-headed. At the base, there is a random rubble plinth, and a blocked segmental-headed door is located at the south end of the wall. The north end of this wall incorporates part of the outer wall of the demolished house known as 'The Priory'. There is also a Tudor window with two lights and a transom, along with a rectangular hood-mould set high up, and two smaller paired lights positioned lower down.

A second section of wall runs to the north of Priory Lodge along Newtown. This wall is constructed of random rubble and stands approximately 10 to 12 feet high, featuring plain coping. It connects to the east side of the Priory Barn.

Priory Lodge, along with its boundary walls, the Priory Barn, and Nos 1A to 3 (consecutive), form a cohesive group.
