Seen from Pound Lane is part of the wall surrounding The Rectory. Possibly dating from circa 1840, when The Rectory was rebuilt. A tall rubble stone wall topped with upright stones and supported by earth banks above the streets, it runs along Pound Lane then along the street known as West Wall before curving into St David's Street. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8909 Presteigne is a market town, set on the south bank of the River Lugg, some 19 miles northwest of Hereford and 16 miles east of Llandrindod Wells. The Welsh/English border wraps around three sides of the town, which probably began as a small settlement around a Minster church. Formerly the county town of the historic county of Radnorshire, it remains quiet, picturesque and unspoilt.
