Description
The garden wall located 85 metres to the west of the service wing at Wittington dates from around 1900. It is constructed of red brick with a brick coping. The wall features brick piers topped with moulded stone caps and ball finials. The gate piers are adorned with stone scrolls on the pilasters, and there is a pier at the southern end. Near the southern end, there is a small gateway flanked by piers and remnants of arched wooden gates. The walls rise up to a central gateway, which has larger piers and a pair of wrought iron gates. These gates are decorated with scroll and foliage ornamentation, as well as heraldic devices, and are designed in the shape of an inverted arch. Near the northern end, there is another pair of piers with a narrow wrought iron gate and an overthrow, which features the initials HEK, representing Hudson Ewbanke Kearley.
