Description
The walled garden to the rear of Castle Combe Primary School, which includes the former Chippenham Butter Market, dates from around 1890 and was built for E.C. Lowndes. It features red brick and squared small ashlar block coped walls. The rear and side walls are made of red brick, while there is a tall north-west corner archway with ashlar dressings and Jacobean style cresting. Iron gates are present, along with a short length of ashlar wall at the south-west front, which returns with a gateway aligned with the north-west archway. This area includes ashlar piers topped with ball finials and iron gates that display the initials ECL along with two bronze lion head crests. The center of the rear wall is ramped up over a stone-tiled hipped lean-to roofed shelter. Additionally, there are four large 17th century Tuscan ashlar columns at the front and two responds, which were originally part of the Butter Market in Chippenham Market Place, where it stood free with a hipped roof and three columns on each side.
