C17 to C19, with some medieval fabric surviving and incorporating remains of demolished post-medieval cottages; early C20 landscaping, with gazebo of c1900-1910. Limestone rubble, ashlar gazebo with slate roof. Arts and Crafts style gazebo. Parallel walls to end of garden and S side of Mill Lane, separated by buttress sections with water tables, incorporating medieval carved work, extending approx 150m from NE corner of Old Bell Hotel extension and along rear of garden. The gazebo, attached to the garden wall, has tall windows, a pyramidal roof with 7 triangular dormers and a finial, with steps up to the entrance. INTERIOR: details of the gazebo include an Arts Nouveau style fireplace and timber roof pendent. HISTORICAL NOTE: retaining wall at the south side is along the line of the former castle wall, built by Bishop Roger in c1130. Northern section, which runs along Mill Lane, probably follows the ditch of the Burghal Hidage defences and the north limit of the late Saxon abbey precinct.
