Walls To Walled Garden, At Huntercombe Manor

The walls to the walled garden at Huntercombe Manor date from the 16th century and are constructed of red brick, standing approximately 10 feet high. The walls are L-shaped in plan and feature seven entrances, six of which have wrought iron gates—five are modern pairs and one is an early 19th-century perpendicular pattern. The entrances include three set into the wall: one has a semicircular arch, another has a cambered relieving arch, and the third features a wooden lintel. There are three pairs of gate piers topped with decorative elements: one pair has stone urns, another pair has stone pyramids, and the last pair has flat coping stones topped by flattened stone pyramids. In the north-east corner, there is a large brick pier capped with a stone pineapple. Additionally, there is a small square opening with a wrought iron grating.
