Description
The garden walls to the north and west of Chilton House, including the section on the east side of St. Mary's churchyard, date from the 16th and 17th centuries, with repairs made in the 18th century. These boundary walls are primarily constructed of brick, featuring some stone arches, while the northeast wall is mainly made of stone rubble with brick sections. The walls enclose the garden area north and west of Chilton House, with the western side bordering the churchyard and the eastern side adjacent to the stable yard of Chilton House.
The western wall, which runs along the churchyard, is made of 16th-century brick and includes two doorways. The southern doorway is blocked with stone and features a moulded pointed arch, while the northern doorway has a four-centred stone arch with a square label. There is also decorative diaper brickwork facing the church, including a cross made from dark header bricks. The wall has cogged eaves with brick coping and a plinth.
Further along the western and northern walls, the brickwork is mainly from the 16th century, with some repairs made in the 18th century. Arched bee-boles can be found on the side facing the house. The eastern wall consists of a combination of 16th and 18th-century brick in the northern part, which also has two additional bee-boles. This section transitions to coursed rubblestone, featuring two moulded stone arches with chamfered jambs and four-centred heads with label moulds. The arches consist of two hollow chamfered orders; the northern arch leads to the stable yard, while the southern arch is blocked, both dating from the 16th century.
