Walls Enclosing Nursery Garden, Immediately West Of The Coach House, And Gateway And Walls To Hamstone House (Not Listed)

The walls enclosing the former garden to the Manor House, now a nursery garden, are possibly from the late 18th century or early 19th century. Constructed from Ham stone, the ashlar walls feature plain coping and stand nearly 3 meters high. The enclosing walls to the north are made of brick or brick lined in English garden wall bond, with thin stone copings and curved sweeps as they ascend northwards. There is a gateway at the west end. Opposite Hamstone House, which is not listed, the ashlar wall reduces to about 1.2 meters in height, with a gateway on the east side of the frontage. This section includes four square ashlar piers with plain plinths and bell-hip caps, linked in pairs by concave quarter-circle plan walls that sweep up to the central gatepiers. The gates are from the 20th century. The walls are significant to the context of the Manor House and contribute to the streetscape at the entrance to the village.
