Walls Enclosing Garden About 10 Metres West Of Buckland House

The walls enclosing the garden about 10 metres west of Buckland House date from the early 18th century and have been partly renewed. They are constructed of red brick in English and Flemish bond with Ham stone dressings and feature cast iron railings. The garden is a rectangular area with railings and a dwarf wall along the east front, and a convex bay at the west end that includes central piers and a doorway set into the wall. The square piers at the east end have moulded ashlar caps and rise to about 2.5 metres. The southern side has a rebuilt section, and there are various types of copings. The west end bay features six square columns with moulded ashlar plinths and scroll-topped buttresses at the centre, along with a pointed arch opening in the rebuilt wall that contains a plank door. At the time of the survey in January 1984, the structure was noted to be in poor condition. The design of the piers in the central bay is similar to those found at Norton Court in Norton Fitzwarren.
