5/48 Wall approximately 160 metres east of Wheatbrig's House

GV II

Wall. Early C19 or earlier. Limestone and brick. Approximately 4 metres high and 100 metres long, aligned roughly north-south with a change in the angle at the centre. The northern half is of grey limestone with 3 bands of white blocks alternating with grey; the southern half is brick, in English bond of one course headers to 6 courses stretchers and with the limestone blocks continuing. Gritstone or ashlar coping. Forms the eastern boundary of the huge enclosed garden serving Studley Royal which is shown on the tithe map of 1838. The garden sheltered by this wall contained glasshouses and probably fruit trees. It may also have enclosed the nursery beds for the hundreds of trees required by John Aislabie's planting scheme in the 1720s and later.
