French style garden designed by Royal Gardeners to Queen Anne,
London and Wise for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall, with work
carried out by William Cooke of Walcot. Rubble stone and red
brick with stone dressings and iron railings. Walls attached to
either side of south front of the hall are about 12 feet high

face. To north end of each wall is a semi-circular headed
rusticated early C18 arch with large double keystone to top, and
to south end of each wall is a tall stone pier with plain
entablature and a large banded ball finial. Attached to east of
