SX86SE LOWER BLAGDON LANE, Blagdon 1947-1/2/167 (North side) 10/01/75 Garden and deerpark walls, including gate, to Lower Blagdon House (Formerly Listed as: LOWER BLAGDON LANE, Blagdon Garden walls of Walnut Cottage)

GV II

Garden and deerpark walls, including gates to walled garden. Probably C18 or early C19. Local purple and grey stone rubble. PLAN: Tall walls (over 3m high) bound a walled garden S of Lower Blagdon House (qv) and front Lower Blagdon Lane. Pair of pretty C19 timber gates, panelled below the middle rail with timber vertical above, projecting through the top rail which is scalloped. Spear-head terminals to the standard finials. Deerpark walls bound a large field N and W of the house and form an entrance courtyard to the W of the house. To the N of the entrance courtyard, the walls have unusual battlementing with deep merlons. 8 of these merlons are hollow and have small entrances on the S (courtyard side), close to the service entrance of the house. They may have functioned as pigeon holes, as well as having a decorative purpose. 2-centred archway to deerpark from the entrance court. The walled garden S of the house has a gateway from Lower Blagdon Lane with a pair of slatted timber gates. The walls were designed to enclose a deerpark which was used in conjunction with the deerpark at Berry Pomeroy Castle (information from the owner, whose family erected the walls). Important to the setting of Lower Blagdon House, a very unaltered C18 gentry house, enclosing an unusual example of a late deerpark.
