Garden Wall Attached To West Side Of Garforth

The garden wall attached to the west side of Garforth dates from the mid-18th century, though it may have earlier origins. It is constructed of red brick in stretcher bond, featuring stone coping on the garden side and squared limestone with pantile coping on the outer side. The wall is approximately 100 meters long and 5 meters high, with a quadrant shape. On the garden side, there is a segmental arch to the right with paired gates, and to the left, a round-arched niche that may have originally served as a summerhouse. The coping is flat. The outer side of the wall includes four semicircular buttresses at regular intervals. To the left, there is a gateway with a brick arch that has a stone keyblock and roughly-tooled quoins. Additionally, there is one battered buttress made of 19th to 20th-century brick located approximately at the center, topped with pent coping. This wall is believed to be a remnant of the 17th-century hall that once stood on the site.
