stretch of low garden wall, with a further short stretch of wall beyond. The
brick of the wall is also of Tudor type. Small, flat-topped buttresses, and
plain cast iron railings along the top. Adjoining on the south is a 10-bay

brick. At the extreme east end of the northern return wall, a pier with finial
matching those by the drive.
