Description

The retaining walls forming the carriage splash are likely from the 17th century and have always been shown in old views of the almshouses and church. The structure consists of two low retaining walls with paved coping, which are about 6 feet apart and enclose a paved hollow. In the center of the south side, there is a rebate below the coping for a spring head, with a wooden plug attached by a chain. There is a stone bollard at each end on the south side, and seven stone bollards on the north side. This is an interesting survival, notably not aligned with the lodge gates.
