Description

The terrace walls adjoining and to the east of the Mansion, approximately 200 meters long, were built between 1809 and 1815 by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville for Sir Paul Baghott. Constructed from random rubble limestone, the section of wall to the north of the house connects to the entrance terrace and features various circular and triangular bastions, some of which are partly ruined. It includes trefoil-headed lancets with iron ferramenta, designed to evoke the appearance of a more extensive fortress. The wall has two round profile string courses, and the lower part is battered. To the south of the Mansion, the main terrace wall is set at a higher level, with a terrace walk passing below. Adjacent to the Mansion is a large ashlar Tudor arched opening that leads to a cellar, interrupting the higher level south terrace wall. Overall, the walls create the impression that the current house is just a small part of a much larger medieval fortress.
