2/60 Walls and gate
piers to east of
Middridge Grange
Farmhouse
GV II
Garden walls and pair of gate piers. Probably early C17 walls and late C17-
early C18 gate piers. Coursed rubble walls and ashlar piers. Walls enclose a
nearly-rectangular area known as The Orchard.
2.0 - 3.0-metre high walls, broken down and partly rebuilt in places. Wall, on
rear of cart shed (q.v.), runs north for 30 metres, east for 55 metres, south
for 70 metres and west for 55 metres and has short return section to pair of
fragmentary gate piers, with chamfered rustication, attached to the farmhouse.
All these walls have small, mostly-blocked triangular openings set low at c.3.0-
metre intervals, said to be loop-holes for musket fire dating from the Civil
War period; but could be wind vents preventing turbulence on the leeward side
of the walls.
Included for group value.
