Pond About 75 Metres South Of Brympton House, And Walls Enclosing East And West Sides Of Lawn Between House And Pond

The pond located about 75 metres south of Brympton House, along with the walls that enclose the east and west sides of the lawn between the house and the pond, are notable features from the mid-19th century. Constructed from ham stone rubble and red brick in English garden wall bond, the pond is roughly semi-circular, measuring about 85 metres across and a maximum of 50 metres wide, with rubble walls that rise about one metre above the water level. There is a small island situated off-centre within the pond. The enclosing walls extend approximately 150 metres along the east side of the lawn from the garden house and about 115 metres along the west side from the Chantry House. These walls are made of brick with thin stone copings and stand about 3 metres high. Both the pond and the walls significantly enhance the setting of the principal facade of Brympton House, which dates back to around 1675. These features were created by Lady Georgina Fane, who managed the estate from 1857 to 1875.
