Walls Enclosing Kitchen Gardens, With Gazebo And Cottage

The walls enclosing the kitchen gardens at Clovelly Court date from the 18th or 19th century and are constructed of granite rubble. These walls create two large rectangular enclosures located to the south of Clovelly Court and the parish church. At the south-west corner, there is a cottage, and halfway along the north wall, there is a dormer house. The walls generally stand about 4 meters high and feature saddle-back coping made of slate or stone.

On the western side, which faces an approach path to the church, there are a pair of doors with a segmental head. A central cross wall divides the two enclosed spaces and includes two pointed arch doorways. The coping adjacent to the churchyard has a series of stops. On the side facing the house, there is a small summerhouse with glazed walls and a hipped slate roof supported by a broad coved cornice. From the north side of the summerhouse, a wall extends towards the south front of the house, flanking the east side of the churchyard.

The long pathway leading away from the house rises at the center to a short section of horizontal coping, with a small door providing access to the east half of the enclosure. The former gardener's cottage is partly restored, featuring a rubble construction and a slate roof. The church side has a double gate, a deep-set door, and a small margin bar sash window. Towards the gardens, there are two windows on the first floor and one on the second floor, with small-pane casements on the left and margin bar sashes, including one in a half-dormer on the right. The outer wall has one window on the first floor and two on the second floor, with a lower roof that continues flush with the front of the cottage. This structure is an important large-scale feature adjacent to the main house.
