Fine walls are one of the most distinctive features of the village; see the listed cob wall shown in Image and Image http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-86242-boundary-walls-approximately-35-metres-no . This one is composed of cobbles rather than cobs, with brick and ornamental tile coping http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-86238-boundary-wall-and-gates-to-north-and-east . As the listed building description mentions and the image illustrates, the wall steps "down a little regularly as the ground level drops" and the coping "is supported on a series of close set brick corbels with rounded soffits".
