Description

The kitchen garden walls, located about 60 metres south of Oldstone, date from the 18th century. They are constructed of slate rubble and red brick in Flemish bond, forming an almost square enclosure with tall stone rubble walls. The northwest side features a gateway with a segmental slate arch and a round archway leading to the park, along with a buttress with set-offs at the right-hand (west) corner. The northeast side, which faces the park, has a lower red brick wall in Flemish bond that ramps up at the ends where it meets the northwest and southeast walls. There are 20th-century farm buildings constructed against the southwest wall, which has been raised with concrete blocks and has a breach at the centre.
