Front Garden Wall To High Osgodby Grange

THIRKLEBY HIGH AND LOW - SE 48 SE WITH OSGODBY 1/54 Front garden wall to High Osgodby Grange GV II Garden wall. Early-mid C18. Coursed squared stone with segment-sectioned ashlar coping. Front wall approximately 1 metre high with steps up to gateway in line with house door; on either side of this the wall ramps up and is surmounted by later, stepped, hemispherical tapstones. On right of gateway, wall ramps up to meet taller return wall which dies in house and has chamfered plinth and on garden side three round-arched, semi-domed niches with keyed archivolts. On left of gateway the wall continues and ramps down, at which point it returns to the house as a low-level garden retaining wall; beyond the ramp there is a break in the masonry before the wall returns rearwards, ramping up once before dying in outbuilding (not of special interest)
