Description
Garden wall, late C17 origins with later repairs and rebuildings.
MATERIALS Hildenley limestone small squared blocks laid to courses that are not horizontal, but follow the lie of the hillside. Flat coping stones. Later rebuilding mainly Hildenley stone but includes brick, tile and modern materials.
DESCRIPTION The wall is generally 2-3m high and is ramped up over the top terrace (see NHLE 1290844), mirrored by the later wall to the west (NHLE 1202752), and is stepped up elsewhere. Straight joints indicate at least four major episodes of rebuilding (mainly late C18 and C19) including the addition of buttresses. A large section close to the river (including a short diversion away from the original line) is C20, includes modern blockwork concealed by reused old masonry.
