Boundary Wall for Tong Castle and remains of pulpit

The remains of this sandstone wall are dated to 1821, but the ashlar pulpit seen here is roughly 55 years older than that, and is thought to be the work of 'Capability' Brown; part of the boundary of the long demolished Tong Castle which lay about half a mile to the WNW of here. The whole remnant was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176593-wall-with-remains-of-pulpit-approximately-10-metres-to-east-of-convent-lodge-tong#.XpNvwshKjcs & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176593 in 1955. The style of the wall is better seen in Image, and is similar to another remnant at Image
