Description


The following building shall be added:-

PAVENHAM CHURCH LANE
SP 9855 and 9955 (West Side, off)

25/370 Walled garden to
north of Garden
Cottage

II GV

Garden wall with attached bothies and greenhouse range. Early-mid C19 and mid-late
C19. Wall of red brick, mostly in English bond with top in Flemish bond; bothies of
coursed rubblestone and brick with Welsh slate roofs; greenhouse range of glass on
brick dwarf wall. The wall encloses a near-triangular garden, the corners curved
and with entrances located near them (2 at south-west corner). The eastern half of
the northern wall has the lean-to bothies on the outer side and the lean-to
greenhouse range on the inner side. The wall is approximately 3½ metres tall,
ranging up to approximately 4 metres above the bothies; on the outer side is an
offset below the thinner top section, and evenly-spaced raked butresses (set at
intervals of approximately 3 metres); slightly oversailing flat coping of large blue
bricks; entrances have keyed flat brick arches and board doors with decorative iron
hinges (doors mostly collapsed or removed). The greenhouse range is very derelict,
but retains glazing bars and iron vent-opening mechanism; manufacturer's plate bears
legend "W T Revitt, Olney". Bothies, also very derelict, have small-pane wooden
casement windows with flat arches, iron-framed skylights, entrance from garden,
board doors, and former privy; small addition at west end is of brick and has
single-light windows with decorative, honeycomb-style, metal glazing bars (windows
similar to those of the nearby Garden Cottage (qv) which is dated 1863).
