Type and Period (1)

  • BOUNDARY WALL (18th Century - 1700 AD? to 1799 AD?)

Description

Unknown date. The boundary that it follows is visible on early 19th century maps. Roughly coursed
stone wall with brick quoins at corner. Roughly 2m tall. This is the only example of a coursed stone
structure in Singleborough. Stone is not an easily available material in the area, and the wall does
not correspond with an important building such as a Rectory or Manor House as might usually be
expected. The wall is visually prominent in views along the street, and is an interesting contrast to
the other short brick wall or tall hedged boundaries. A local note building within the conservation area of Singleborough (B1).
