Subsidiary Garden Wall to Waxham Hall

16.4.55

G.V.
II

Garden wall. Circa 1570, C19 and late C20. Whole flints and brick and some ashlar. Wall runs south-west from house and returns north-west, interrupted by gate. Wall between gate and house rebuilt late C20 following collapse.

Remainder of wall with rounded ashlar coping. In angle of return are high relief carvings of cement applied over brick and flint rubble of the mid C19. Stylised foliage and rocks. Standing or sitting on rocks are grotesque figures playing musical instruments including tambourine and horn. The whole appears to be a rustic version of Aztec style carvings then being published in engraved form. To north a further scene in same style depicting three Indians (with North American headresses but with Mexican Indian features) gesticulating in a stylised forest. Central Indian aims bow and arrow at coiled hissing serpent. To left and right of each scene are two grotesque head corbels (six in all).
