Statement of Interest

Fine walls, originally associated with the nearby Purves Hall (Tower) - see separate list entry. A later house of the same name stands to the SE and today owns most of the garden - see separate list entry 'Purves Hall (House)'. The remainder is owned by the older property. Little remains of the garden's original layout, which is shown on the 1858 Ordnance Survey map.
