Looking west along the curved northern wall to one side of the gateway to the walled garden. This wall faces south and must have had fruit trained up it in its heyday as a kitchen garden for Allesley Hall. The garden was created about 200 years ago to provide fruit and vegetables for the Hall and at one time produced exotic fruits within its 1.4 acres. It was converted to an ornamental garden in the 20th century before being neglected but is now being restored as a kitchen garden by a group of volunteers.
