GODALMING HEATH LANE SU 94 SE (south side, off) 2/101 Garden walls at north- west end of garden to Munstead Wood GV II

Garden walls. Late C19 for Gertrude Jekyll. Bargate rubblestone. Tall main wall crosses garden from south-west (Brighton Road) to north-east; near its south-western end a spur wall runs to the south-east; on its north-west side another, lower, wall runs from it in a north-easterly direction (towards Heath Lane); half-way along this spur wall another low wall links it back to the main wall, so forming a triangular enclosed garden. The main wall is approx 4 metres high with domed oversailing coping; near its centre it ramps up over a round-arched entrance with a nail-studded, iron hinged, board door, on the south-west side the entrance being set in a pent-roofed projection; the spur wall which runs to the south-east is similar, with a round-arched entrance; C20 greenhouse and brick shed attached to walling at south-west end not of special interest. The north-easterly-running spur wall and the wall which links this to the main wall are approx. 1 metre high, the former having 2 gateways in it and the latter one. This walling formed part of Gertrude Jekyll's garden at Munstead Wood (q.v. Busbridge Parish), the garden being listed as grade I in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England (part 40, Surrey). J Brown, Gardens of a Golden Afternoon (1982) pp. 35-41. G Jekyll and L Weaver, Gardens For Small Country Houses, (1912) plan on p.38.
