Description
The boundary walls and piers forming the garden of Cassey Compton House are mainly from the 17th century, with the wall in front of the stable block dating to the early to mid-18th century. Constructed primarily of limestone ashlar, some sections feature coursed and dressed stone. The wall runs parallel to the stable block and extends approximately 80 meters to the south at its west end and 80 meters to the east in front of the house. The walls vary in height from about 1 meter to 4 meters, with the section north of the canal ramped up and down in places. The walls to the west and south of the canal also change in height according to the ground level.
The piers on the south side, which have been removed from their original position, are square with fielded panels on the sides, topped with moulded cappings and elegant urn finials. These finials feature gadrooning at the base and intricate foliate carvings that include roses, fruit, and grotesque heads around the top. The low wall between the piers has saddleback coping, while the other walls have flat coping that slopes outwards.
