Garden Walls

The garden walls at Hornby, likely built in the late 18th to early 19th century, were constructed for the Duke of Leeds of Hornby Castle. They are made of orange-red bricks arranged in English garden wall bond, along with coursed rubble and ashlar. The walls enclose a rectangular inner garden within a larger, irregularly-shaped area. The inner garden features brick on both sides of the wall, with the north and south walls displaying alternating recessed and projecting bays, where the projecting bays were formerly heated. There is a blocked round-arched doorway on the west side, and the wall has been broken through on the west side. The east and west walls ramp up towards the north side and have stone slab coping. A lean-to bothy is located behind the north wall.

The outer wall consists of rubble on the outer sides, with quoins at the outer angles. Both the inner and outer sides have stepped pilaster buttresses topped with ashlar rolled coping at the offsets and pyramidal caps. The stone slab coping ramps up towards the north and west, featuring pyramidal caps on the steps. In the south-east corner, there is a board door set within an ashlar chamfered 4-centred arched doorway with a hoodmould. In the north-east corner, an ashlar chamfered segmental-arched carriageway has leaved board doors.
