Description
The boundary wall separates the garden and site of the former house from the park on its N, E and SE sides. It is of alternating solid and pierced stone panels, separated by square piers and with an almost flat coping. The solid panels are of coursed grey rock-faced stone with limestone dressings. The open panels are limestone pierced with quatrefoils. Along the E side, the ground rises up towards the S through a series of terraces to the site of the former house. The wall sections here are higher and some consist of 2 rows of panels, in a slightly different design; the open panels have pierced ogee trefoiled arches with moulded copings, and there are square-section piers with recessed trefoiled arches and dentilled pyramidal caps. At the N end of the E wall is a gateway leading into the park. It is bound by pairs of octagonal piers with mouldings including a band of Tudor flowers, and with pyramidal copings. The iron double gates have rails and dog rails with fleur de lys finials, and end rails with scrolls. At the NW end, the wall finishes with a pier. Adjoining this is a ha-ha with a rough saddleback coping, which curves away to the NW.
