Terrace walls, and rustic seat at
south end of south garden at Oldway
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.
