History

The present Kilvrough Manor was probably built in the 1770s by William Dawkins as a substantial enlargement of an earlier house, and was surrounded by parkland. The boundary wall is probably contemporary with the house, although the gateway at the E end was built c1872, necessitating some changes to the boundary wall. The wall is shown on the 1848 Pennard Tithe map where the central section of it forms the N boundary of a kitchen garden, which accounts for the brick facing in this section.

Exterior

A curving rubble stone wall approximately 200m long and 3m high, with saddleback slag coping. The inner face is of the central section is of brick and has a flat stone coping, defining the extent of the former kitchen garden which has a return wall on the E side. Immediately to the E of the former kitchen garden the boundary wall has a wide gateway that has square dressed stone piers with pyramidal caps and modern doors. On the W side, beyond the former kitchen garden, is a pedestrian doorway in a dressed-stone surround and segmental head. At the W end the wall continues as a field boundary wall. At the E end the wall terminates with a square pier of coursed rock-faced stone. A short return flanking the main gateway is of snecked, rock-faced stone and is stepped down to the level of the gateway pier. The pier and return wall are contemporary with Kilvrough Lodge, dated 1872, and gateway.
