Garden wall. C18, of several builds with later alterations. Red brick in an irregular Flemish bond, approx. 430mm thick rising 39 courses above ground level to a bullnosed coping brick course, stepping down twice to the S, with an offset on the E side. The N end is also of 39 course, the coping remade with tile drip and brick soldier course. The wall runs from the rear of no. 79, turning north-eastwards for approx 10m before continuing south-eastwards for approximately 33m against the United Reformed Church Hall, to a short return at the S end. History: The gardens of the former Vicarage were probably established in the early C18, when they were described as "the extensive gardens of the Old Vicarage" (now Old Chantry House); described also as "... a very neat Kitchen and Pleasure garden, laid out in a tasteful Manner, walled around and planted with the choicest Fruit Trees, Evergreens and shrubs and other ornamental Trees and flowers, with a complete raised Brick Summer house, and chimney thereon, neatly sashed and fitted up, and a Temple of Ease in the said Garden, the whole containing 2r 20p.". (See also under "Summer House and garden wall in the grounds of no. 81 (The Rectory)".
