One of the charms of old gardens is the aged walls, gates, buildings, fences and other fixtures that are frequently found giving structure to the planting. Judging by its time-worn condition it will be many decades, or perhaps even a century or two, since this doorway-cum-gate was erected as a way through the enclosing wall. It seems to be still in use, together with the new sign, welcoming visitors to the garden and the house beyond.
