Description
The kitchen garden walls and glasshouse, located northwest of Powderham Castle, were built between 1843 and 1844 by Charles Fowler for the Tenth Earl of Devon. They are made of red brick set on a stone rubble plinth, topped with slate capping. The outer sides of the walls feature flat brick buttresses, and there are arched doorways in the south and west walls. The walls enclose a kitchen garden that has an irregular shape, tapering to a corner at the west end. On the north side, facing south, there are mid-19th century glasshouses that retain their original ventilation winding gear and cast-iron heating pipes. Notably, the walls were constructed to provide work for local labourers and were built using bricks that were re-used from an earlier walled garden north of Powderham Castle.
