Description
The garden boundary wall, which includes a gated entrance, separates the garden and site of the former house from the park on its northern, eastern, and southeastern sides. It features alternating solid and pierced stone panels, separated by square piers, topped with an almost flat coping. The solid panels are made of coursed grey rock-faced stone with limestone dressings, while the open panels are limestone pierced with quatrefoils.
On the eastern side, the ground rises towards the south through a series of terraces leading to the site of the former house. Here, the wall sections are taller and some consist of two rows of panels in a slightly different design; the open panels have pierced ogee trefoiled arches with moulded copings. The square-section piers have recessed trefoiled arches and dentilled pyramidal caps.
At the northern end of the eastern wall, there is a gateway leading into the park, flanked by pairs of octagonal piers with mouldings that include a band of Tudor flowers and pyramidal copings. The iron double gates feature rails and dog rails adorned with fleur de lys finials, as well as end rails with scrolls. The wall concludes at the northwestern end with a pier, adjacent to which is a ha-ha with a rough saddleback coping that curves away to the northwest.
