Mansion

GV II

Terrace walls, steps and rustic seat at the south end of the
garden south of Oldway Mansion (qv). 1904-1907, contemporary
with the remodelling of Oldway Mansion (qv) for Paris Singer.
Grounds laid out by A Duchesne, the leading French formal
landscape architect.
Retaining wall faced up with local grey limetone laid in crazy
courses; concrete parapet, partly balustraded; concrete seat.
The walls divide the formal garden immediately S of the house
from the wilder garden to its south. On the upper (southern)
terrace the wall incorporates a rather decayed rustic seat;
flight of enclosed steps leads from the upper terrace down
into the wilder garden.
Part of the setting of Oldway Mansion. Group value with other
garden items.
