Notes Curtilage and garden walls, gate piers and folly adjoining house. Uncertain date; some are certainly C19, but stretches of walling may be earlier. Stone rubble. In front of house is a courtyard walled at the front and right-hand side, very close to the church of St Mary the Virgin (qv). Most of the right-hand wall has a flat stone coping, but the rear part is taller, plastered, and has a blocked window at the top; presumably it is the remnant of an added building, since demolished. The front wall is lower, with a rounded coping of stones on edge. It contains 2 square plastered gate piers with low pyramidal caps. To the left the courtyard opens into a large garden which projects forward and is walled except where it adjoins the courtyard in front of the house. It is divided into 3 sections by cross-walls parallel to the front of the house. What appears to be a ruined structure built of red sandstone blocks adjoins the front wall. The rear wall is in effect a raised terrace leading to a folly against the left boundary-wall. This is a small square structure entered through a wide 4-centred arch; above it is a platform enclosed by a low battlemented parapet wall. Listing NGR: SX9036256384 Facts
