Description

The garden walls and attached hothouses located approximately two hundred metres south of Kirby Hall date from the 18th century for the walls and the 19th century for the hothouses, which are believed to have been designed by Joseph Paxton. The walls are constructed of orange-red brick in Flemish bond and are white-washed on the southeast side, featuring sandstone coping. The walls are high and include pilaster piers, which ramp up at the corners, topped with flat coping. The hothouse buildings can be seen over the southeast wall. The interior of the garden is not accessible.
