GV II

Also known as: Monks' Walk.
Screen wall, perhaps formerly one side of a walled garden,
incorporating a cottage now known as the Old School Room, and
with an attached privy.
In 2 builds, probably C17 and C18; altered. Mostly hand-made
red brick, the northern half (which appears to be the older)
in 4+1 English garden wall bond and the southern half
(including the cottage) with 3 quarter-bonded stretcher
courses to one course in which stretchers alternate with pairs
of headers.
The wall is approx. 150m long, running straight on a line
slightly east of south, and approx. 4m high, with a plinth
approx. 1m high; the portion north of the cottage has large
stepped half-height buttresses on the east side, and a
saw-tooth band close to the top (and some modern common brick
above); the rest has triangular buttress-pilasters.
The centre portion forms the rear wall of a mid-to-late C18
cottage on the west side, which has a single-depth 2-unit plan
and a low 2-storey 2-window facade, with a segmental-headed
doorway in the centre and segmental-headed casement windows of
3 lights to the left and 2 lights to the right; a ridge
chimney; and a rear doorway through the wall. Approx. 30m
south of the cottage and on the same side is an early C19
lean-to privy which has a 2-centred arched window in each
side, both sashed with intersecting glazing bars (but lacking
the glass and one damaged), a 6-panel door in the east wall,
and a wooden 2-hole privy seat inside.
