East Ruston Old Vicarage
The Kings Walk
Passing through a brick archway with the
house on our left we come to the formal lawn
on which we find ten sentinel obelisks of yew.
This is the only part of the garden designed
specifically to be viewed from the house and
is known by us as the King’s Walk. You will see
that this area proceeds from the house via a
series of steps to the pavilion which apparently
closes this vista. We instigated these changes
in levels to add interest and variety to what
otherwise is a largely flat or gently sloping site.
The balls on the gate piers we made
ourselves, they were cast in a mould in two
halves and with their sandwich of terracotta
tiles atop their brick piers add to the
grandeur of what is a relatively simple
architectural design.
