coursed rubble to Courtyard walls, rubble to Garden Wall both with dressed stone
copings. Ashlar quoins and archways to Courts, iron railings. Each Court gives
access through round-arched entrances to the North Lawn and the cross axis path
along the north boundary of the Rose Garden. The arches to the East Court have
simple roll mouldings and hipped Lutyens-style caps; those to the West Court are
more ornate with foliage friezes, attached Ionic pilasters and bracketted keystones.
South wall of East Court has lean-to stone tiled canopy on carved wooden brackets
and east wall has inset ashlar panel with carved cartouche:and fruit and flower
swags in high relief, below which is a plank settle with hood and ashlar table on
large balusters. South and west walls of West Court have a continuous settle
sheltered by a wooden round-arched loggia of Jacobean derivation. Both courts
have ramped walls up to archways with simple iron railings between and corner
obelisk finials, also 12 steps down to Lawn. Linking Boundary Wall doubles as

features together with several others comprise a fine formal garden layout designed
by Thomas for Henry Martin Gibbs; it is included in the Historic Gardens

Houses, 1957).
