Description

The front boundary wall to Ritchie Hall is a boundary wall with piers, built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from local coursed rubble stone, featuring ashlar dressings and piers. On the left side, set back approximately 1 meter from the adjoining boundary wall to Polydor House, there are a pair of square ashlar gate piers with run-out chamfer corners and moulded cappings, accompanied by a pair of simple iron gates. The wall then transitions into a low section with ogee-mould capping that spans the full width of the front, leading to a lower pair of square piers topped with swept cappings and finials. The wall continues for approximately 1.5 meters before ending at a pier in the adjoining boundary wall.
