Shrubbery Garden Walls Approximately 175 Metres South Of Rockbeare Manor

Garden walls dating from the 18th century, with additions and improvements made in the early 19th century. Constructed of red brick with tile coping, featuring limestone ashlar details and wrought iron gates. The walls enclose two large rectangular gardens: a formal garden with a central brick-lined pond at the north end, and a kitchen garden to the south, both now largely disused. The walls display variations in style, suggesting work from different periods. The oldest section appears to be the southern wall of the formal garden, which includes a plinth and pilaster buttresses dividing the wall into panels. The present form of the walls largely dates to the early 19th century.

A tall crosswall separates the gardens, prominently featuring a large central round-headed arch with plain limestone impost and keystone, flanked by pilaster buttresses rising into small, plain-topped turrets. A further large gateway is located at the southern end of the kitchen garden. The most significant entrance is centrally positioned at the northern end, leading from the house to the formal garden; here, the northern wall slopes down in stages to square-section piers featuring projecting limestone bands, soffit-moulded caps, and ball finials. The wrought iron gates are of good quality, with enriched scrolls and curves to the gate piers. The main gate features a dograil of arrowheads and an ornate overthrow with scrolls. A small doorway with a fielded panel door and sunken panel over, filled with wrought ironwork, is found on the southern side. It was originally flanked by disused glasshouses with brick corner piers topped with stone balls. The centre of the formal garden contains a circular brick-lined pond with a small bronze statue of a boy with dolphins.
