Description
The gate piers, gates, and attached walls at the entrance to The Hall are constructed from freestone and date from the 19th century. The freestone piers feature gabled caps with sunk trefoils and are complemented by iron gates. On either side of the main piers, there are rubble and freestone piers along with railings on dwarf walls. Beyond these, a coped rubble-stone wall extends, which is longer on the southwest side, facing the road into the village and forming the southern boundary of the formal garden. Within this garden, there is a pointed gateway with an iron gate located immediately south of the house. This gate provided access from the house to the abbey ruins, which were part of the pleasure gardens until around 1900. The coped boundary wall continues further west to a sharp bend in the road at the southwest corner of the gardens, opposite Home Farm, where the wall becomes plainer.
