KILDWICK GRANGE ROAD (south side) Walls enclosing garden and lower terrace, with north gate piers, south gate piers and steps.

GV II

Garden walls, gate piers and steps. Mid - late C18 for Haworth Currer or Dorothy and Richard Richardson, with C19 restoration. Walls of coursed gritstone rubble with inner face of small hand-made red/brown bricks in random bond; ashlar quoins and gate piers, gritstone steps. Rectangular garden approximately 40 x 60 metres and south terrace all on south-sloping ground. Walling: north wall with central gate piers remains to a height of approximately 80 centimetres, the moulded coping stones having settings for wooden or iron railings. The wall ends were demolished C20. The west and east walls are built to horizontal courses, the slope of the ground necessitating a ramped reduction in wall height towards the south end. South wall: central ashlar gate piers approximately 2 metres high, with shallow pyramidal caps, low wall with brick to south face and pilasters with moulded coping above, ramped up at each end. Wooden square-section railings with pyramidal finials to lower wall. South terrace with ha-ha wall and central narrow board gate, simple stone piers. North gate piers: approximately 4 metres high with fielded panels to north and south sides, projecting jambs with inverted consoles, entablature and deep cornice; formerly surmounted by draped urn finials, removed to courtyard of Kildwick Hall and separately listed (q.v.). A path and 3 short flights of steps link the north gateway to the south terrace. The north wall of the garden is shown in the view of Kildwick Hall published in 1805. The gate piers, urns and wooden railings were then intact, the railings similar to those on the south wall. The south terrace ha-ha wall was originally capped by a low holly hedge, some of the bushes remain, now very overgrown. T. D. Whitaker, History of Craven, 1805, new edition 1878, p214.
