A garden and boundary wall on the South side of this ancient pedestrian right of way. Constructed of mixed and randomly coursed Kent Ragstone and Caen stone rubble which ultimately must have been salvaged from the mediaeval Faversham Abbey buildings. The wall is ‘framed,’ capped and perhaps backed by local later 18th Century red brick so would appear to date from circa 1780-1800. Part of the wall has been covered in a mid-20th Century pebbledash render. The significance of this wall lies in its indirect connection with the Abbey, its townscape value and its marking of an ancient property boundary, pre-dating the building to which it now belongs.
