Cadw's description
Location
Facing New Street at the rear of The Orchard and The Hermitage, terminating at the SW end at the corner of Rosemary Lane and New Street.
History
A boundary wall to the pleasure grounds at The Hermitage (later sub-divided into the Hermitage, The Orchard and Old Barracks Cottage), and shown on the 1829 town plan. A section was breached in the late C20 to provide an entrance to Orchard Mews.
Exterior
A rubble-stone wall approximately 4m high. From the SW end, where a return facing Rosemary Lane incorporates a doorway, the wall continues up New Street, curves round 90 degrees, after which the wall has been breached to create access to a new house, Orchard Mews, and continues to the entrance to The Hermitage. In this section of wall is a segmental-headed opening with boarded door. The wall terminates with 2 plain but substantial square piers spanning the driveway to the Hermitage.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding alteration, as an integral component of a large early C19 house now known as The Orchard, The Hermitage and Old Barracks Cottage, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Rosemary Lane and New Street.
