Buttress No.19
Peter Ramsbotham is pictured working on the last in the row of the buttresses that support the old garden wall behind the Yew Walk. This is part of our on-going restoration of the brickwork around the Red House Walled Garden. The buttresses were a later, 18th century, addition to the wall to counteract the added weight of the earth bank that makes up the Walk. The spaces between the buttresses have probably been used as garden plots for centuries. The first record can be found in the old school magazine where reports on the gardens kept by the boys were included in many summer editions. Currently they are being used by Sally Pickering of Pickers Flowers to provide produce for her cut flower business.
