Description


ST GILES STEVENSTONE PARK
SS 52 19 IN THE WOOD
17/220 Garden walls adjoining west of
- the Orangery and Ha Ha adjoining
west of Stevenstone House Terrace

GV II

Garden walls and ha ha. Circa 1872. Local stone rubble with sandstone ashlar
coping, brick piers with sandstone ashlar capitals, cast iron railings.
The walls enclose 3 sides of the garden open on the east side towards the ruins of
Stevenstone House (q.v.). The north wall is a tall stone rubble wall alongside the
drive to the West Lodge. Circa 1980 a gateway was inserted. It has square-section
brick piers and contains large plank double doors. At the west end is an original
corner pier. It is brick, square in section with moulded cap and carved pineapple
finial. There is another at the south end corner of the western return wall and 2
similar piers without the finials flank a wide central gateway. Between these piers
the western wall is low, built of snecked stone and ramps down from north to south as
the ground falls away gently. It is surmounted by cast iron twisted rails and spear-
headed finials with similar lower intermediate rails. The southern return is a ha
ha, a stone rubble revetment to the garden terrace and overlooking the former deer
park to south.
