TQ2506SE MANOR ROAD, Portslade 579-1/10/172 (West side) South and West boundary walls to St Mary's Convent

GV II

Boundary wall to St Mary's Convent (qv). Medieval in origin, subsequent repairs and alterations. Coursed and random rubble flint pebbles, cement coping. Plan: continuous length of wall of varying heights returned south and then east along Manor Road, north and then west forming boundary wall with the churchyard of St Nicholas abutting the remains of the medieval manor house (qv), one metre north of vestry, continued north along footpath to High Street and returned to the junction with Drove road; in all about 220m. The wall has a round-arched blocked entrance at the south junction with the High Street, of uncertain date. There is a doorway between the Convent of St Mary (qv) and the churchyard, as indicated on the OS map; moulded round-arched opening with plank door, rebuilt mid-late C19. This entrance has inset beside it on the churchyard elevation a memorial to the Borrer family who built the manor house, now convent. The memorial takes the form of an inset piece of medieval 2-light tracery, about 2m high, and commemorates among others John Borrer died 1866 and his last surviving daughter, died 1908. In the centre of the most westerly stretch of wall, also marked on the OS map, is the round-arched opening to the subway beneath Manor Road, giving access to the gardens. These walls form part of a good group of structures surrounding the Church of St Nicolas (qv).
