Garden walls. C18, reconstructed 1851 in works by P C Hardwick
for John Hodgson Esq at Gilston Park (date on Gardener's Cottage

Heavy flat slate coping slabs. Taller square pier at NW corner

Pilaster buttresses at intervals on inner face. Older brickwork
in sandy red bricks incorporating large pebbles, and irregular
vitrified headers. Sloping buttresses added on inner face of W
wall. Pilasters on outer face of N wall in area where wall has
been raised for C19 green houses inside. Brick courses follow
the natural slope and the N and S walls are carried over a brook
on round arches. Door in S wall has flat gauged arch.
Gardener's Cottage much altered and not of special interest. A
large rectangular walled kitchen garden, the walls reconstructed
as part of the works by P C Hardwick at Gilston Park and of
special interest as a late dated example of this traditional
feature of the English country house.
