5/55 Wall with doorways to the south and east of the Church of St Giles

GV II

Wall. Probably C17. Coursed squared and dressed limestone faced in ashlar on the south. 'L'-shaped plan comprising an east - west and a north - south section both c25m in length. The wall formerly screened Coberley Court, demolished 1790, from the church and originally formed part of a more extensive network. Viewed from the south from left to right: round-headed doorway with a dressed moulded surround, pulvinated frieze and a triangular pediment which formerly opened into a walled formal garden to the west of Coberley Court; early graffiti representing a bearded man; traces of a return wall formerly running southwards; low round-headed doorway, now blocked, with a moulded surround, keystone and imposts which formerly opened into the garden immediately north of Coberley Court; single-light splayed window with a moulded and lugged surround to the right; similar window on the east facing side of the wall close to the corner which has banded rustications. Battlements with roll-moulded merlons and embrasures remain on part of the north - south section. (Engraving of c1712 by Kip in Atkyn's The History of Gloucestershire; also shown in V.C.H. Gloucestershire, Vol VII)
