History

Section of garden wall built c1693 in the former pleasure garden of Grove House. In that year Thomas and Ellen Shaw remodelled the Elizabethan Grove House, erecting a grand new facade and making various internal changes. The surviving garden wall is presumably contemporary with this work and, together with a storeyed summer-house/dovecote (and apparently also terraces), originally formed part of an associated late Stuart garden. Grove house itself survives on Vale Street.

Exterior

Stretch of garden wall, approximately 30m long; of brown brick, loosely of English Garden Wall bond and uncoped. The majority of the wall has a height of approximately 2.5m; this steps up some 4m from the lane end (NW) to join a rubble section some 3.5m high.

Reasons for Listing

Listed for its special interest as a surviving stretch of late C17 garden wall belonging to the former late Stuart gardens of Grove House.

Group value with the Garden Tower at Grovehurst.
