CALF'S LANE (west side) Boundary walls of Bedfont House including grotto in south-east corner
GV II
Partly early C18 and mostly C19. The C18 part is at the north end facing Calf's Lane: rubble with chamfered coping. Segment-headed doorway opposite south wing of the Court House. About 7-11 ft high, stepped down at one point, and about 30 plus 12 yds long.
The C19 continuation is stepped and ramped down from the above and forms a high rubble retaining wall about 70 yds long to an immense rockery made from gigantic rocks of Pulhamite. At the south-east corner a wild-looking grotto of two chambers formed of this material.
Wall retained at south end in rubble and at north end in coursed rubble about 25 yds long and 10 ft high with corner ball finials and with a brick lining to south.
