GV II
Retaining wall and railings. Wall probably 1820s, railings presumably 1861-73 and designed by GE Street, contemporary with the Church of St.John the Evangelist. Local grey limestone rubble wall, cast-iron railings. Impressively tall retaining wall to the terrace with flight of steps up from Cary Lodge (qv); string course on inner side. In front of the church the wall is coped with limestone and crowned with exceptionally bold High Victorian railings with cinquefoil-headed arches between scrolled verticals with orb finials. Arches enriched with scrolls, flower shapes and twists on either side of tapering verticals. Fine example of high quality, High Victorian ironwork.
