Description
The garden wall at the Priory, likely built in the early 19th century, is located along the street beside the entrance to the Priory grounds. It features two plain gatepiers with pyramidal tops, which are attached to sections of stone garden wall. The wall incorporates some fragments of Perpendicular stone tracery, believed to be from the medieval Prior. Together with Nos 17 to 22 (consecutive) and the Priory, this structure forms a cohesive group.
