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 two 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. 110m 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 two-unit plan and a low two-storey two-window facade, with a segmental-headed doorway in the centre and segmental-headed casement windows of three lights to the left and two 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 two-centred arched window in each side, both sashed with intersecting glazing bars (but lacking the glass and one damaged), a six-panel door in the east wall, and a wooden two-hole privy seat inside.
