Description

Tall rubble-built aedicule in the centre of the SE garden wall. The structure is approximately 4.5m high and of similar width. It consists of 3 tall round-arched niches, that to the centre slightly larger than those flanking; shaped gable above with broken segmental pediment. Projecting keystones to each arch, that to the centre with a blind oculus above. Within the central niche, and standing on a rubble pier, a life-sized classical white marble statue, probably C18; in the flanking niches are placed life-sized busts of Roman emperors, of terracotta on cement socles.

Adjoining to the L, the stepped-down rubble garden wall continues north-east-wards for 15m where it curves inwards and terminates with a stone ball finial; a plain wrought-iron gate links the wall with the coach-house.
