• notes: Terrace walls, steps and rustic seat at the south end of the garden south of Oldway Mansion (qv). 1904-1907, contemporary with the remodelling of Oldway Mansion (qv) for Paris Singer. Grounds laid out by A Duchesne, the leading French formal landscape architect. Retaining wall faced up with local grey limetone laid in crazy courses; concrete parapet, partly balustraded; concrete seat. The walls divide the formal garden immediately S of the house from the wilder garden to its south. On the upper (southern) terrace the wall incorporates a rather decayed rustic seat; flight of enclosed steps leads from the upper terrace down into the wilder garden. Part of the setting of Oldway Mansion. Group value with other garden items. (Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Devon: London: 1952-1989: 839-40). Listing NGR: SX8876061409
