WELLS

ST5445 THE LIBERTY 662-1/7/316 (South side) 13/09/72 Old Deanery boundary wall on S side at return to New Street

GV II

Part of boundary wall to the Old Deanery, Cathedral Green(qv). C15, with additions and restorations. Rubble, some copings. The wall, which also returns to the S, behind the garage facing New Street, varies from approx 3.25 to 4m in height, and extends approx 60m in length from its junction with the return at New Street to a return to the C20 canons' houses (not included) in The Liberty. There is a slight change in direction towards the W end, but the wall is otherwise continuous. It is a very important townscape element at the junction of New Street with The Liberty, and part of what was formerly a complete enclosure to the large site between The Liberty and Cathedral Green occupied by the Old Deanery.
