Vineyard retaining walls and tower. Late C18. Dressed yellow/grey
sandstone on living rock. Rock-cut terrace approximately 270 metres
long with central circular tower in a Gothick style. Tower with high
plinth and cruciform loop openings. The terrace and tower form part
of a vineyard, one of the works carried out in Hawkstone Park by
Sir Rowland Hill in the late C18. There is a further, smaller, rock
cut terrace to the south (q.v.) and a series of smaller earth terraces
(not included on this list) below that. Most of the park, with the
majority of the ornamental buildings and structures lies in the adjoining
parish (see under Weston-under-Redcastle C.P.). The Vineyard (shown on
O.S. map as Vineyard Cottage) is not included on this list. Arthur
Oswald, Country Life, July 3, 1958, pp. 18-21 and July 10, 1958, pp.
