Description

The structure consists of walls with obelisks located approximately 15 metres north of the house at Grimston Park Estate. Built around 1840 by Decimus Burton for Lord Londesborough, these walls are made of magnesian limestone ashlar. They feature two low walls that are curved in plan, each about 1 metre high, with a moulded plinth and coping. An obelisk is positioned at each end of the walls. This structure is included for its group value.
