Description
The parterre walls in the garden to the south of Longford Castle were built in 1832. They are made of buff brick and feature stone coping and ball finials. These dwarf walls have an open parapet and weathered coping, enclosing a rectangular garden that has an oval southern end, measuring about 100 meters in length. This structure is part of the reorganization of the south gardens carried out by the 3rd Earl of Radnor in 1832. During this time, many pieces of sculpture from 18th-century gardens were collected in the area of the parterre, including Rysbrack's Fame and six mythological terms by Sefferin Alkin, created around 1759.
