(north side)

11/8 North and East Boundary
Walls at Hadham Hall and
- Ruins of NE Pavilion

GV II

Walls and ruins of pavilion. C17 incorporating probably C16 wall
and gateway on N. Extensive remains of formal garden layout
created by Arthur Capel, Lord Hadham in 1634-42. The N boundary
wall runs from the Fish Pond, 180 metres to E. From the NE
corner, the E boundary wall runs 140 metres to S with a step to E
in the middle at the ruins of the NE Pavilion. This terraced
garden was the background for the Capel family portrait by
Cornelius Johnson in the National Portrait Gallery dated to 1639.
A C17 painting at the Hall shows the gardens from the E. Tall
red brick wall with narrow bricks in irregular English bond. Top
raised in parts on N for C19 greenhouses. 2 buttressed piers at
blocked gateway in line with E gable of N wing of Hall. Wall
gets higher where it runs down slope to E enclosing orchard. E
wall rather lower and becomes a low retaining wall S of the
ruined NE Pavilion. Fine C17 red brickwork of W side of lower
part of Pavilion survives. It has raised rusticated brick quoins
and rusticated surround to the lower central window with
rusticated, gauged brick, flat arch and raised brick keystone.
Top member of cavetto-moulded rectangular oak window frame
remains at top of brick blocking. Part of the group of historic
structures at Hadham Hall.
