Description
SX 37 NE MILTON ABBOT ENDSLEIGH
9/217 Retaining wall on the terrace to - the terrace to the south east of Endsleigh House
GV II*
Retaining wall. Circa 1810 by Humphry Repton for the 6th Duke of Bedford. Hurdwick stone rubble with rough capping stones. Retaining wall to the flower beds above the terrace to the south east of Endsleigh House formerly Endsleigh Cottage (qv). The wall has round-headed rusticated blind arches with keystones, the arches grouped in threes between wide pilasters. The wall is right-angled and higher at its south end where a large round-headed blind arch forms a recess which formerly contained a rustic seat. Repton's proposals for the landscape at Endsleigh complemented Sir Jeffry Wyatville's design for Endsleigh Cottage and one of the finest views of the house is from the terrace. The combination of house and landscape has been described as constituting "the whole meaning of Picturesque" (Hussey). The wall is illustrated in the Endsleigh Red Book (1814). Christopher Hussey, Country Life, CXXX, 246; CXXX, 296.
