Description
The main sequence, which encloses the garden area to the N and W of the almshouses, is of brown brick on a limestone rubble plinth and is constructed in Flemish bond with limestone block copings. The wall reaches a maximum height of 3.5m and has plain brick buttressing along its exterior at a spacing of roughly 6m. The wall curves around in a concave arc from close to St Dyfnog's Well at the western extremity, to a point some 18m N of the almshouse block at its eastern point. Here the wall turns a right-angle and continues for approximately 15m to terminate close to the right-hand wing of the almshouses. This front-facing stretch has an irregular breach to its centre and has a small bakehouse block adjoining to the L, opposite the NW corner of the almshouses. The latter is a small limestone rubble building with mono-pitched slate roof and 2 plain openings to its front (S); squat brick chimney to the L. Adjoining this to the E, and adjoining the front-facing stretch of garden wall at right-angles, is a section of uncoped limestone rubble wall of approximately 15m length and 1.8m height. At its termination the wall slopes down to meet a pair of modern iron gates.
At the W end of the garden the brick wall terminates close to the well and is continued as a rough-dressed limestone rubble wall. This closes the garden on the S side, parallel with a stream running eastwards from the well, and varies in height from 0.6m to 2m.
