See photos <2>.
East of the formal garden (EHER 47421) is an area of grass with two large evergreen oaks, and one cherry surviving from the former cherry walk. This area is closed off at the north by a brick wall running east from the south-east corner of the house. The two piers in this wall are surmounted by the Du Cane eagles brought from Braxted Park. The wall ends at the summer house built for Lady Du Cane, a rectangular building open to the south, constructed of round upright poles with plaster or daub infill. It is now covered with a hipped tiled roof, but was formerly thatched. <3>
