Summary
In the tennis court garden to the south of the house, amongst the apple trees and further along the Ha-ha, are positioned 20 or so of Kedleston’s original bollard piers and chains; some with their ball finials from the front of the house and some 30m of random cut paving with four steps leading to the tennis courts. One bollard can be seen in the dyke by the Ha-ha as one enters the garden. The bollards are eight-sided and tapered. They are topped with spherical caps that are dowelled to the bollards with ferrous fixings. Some of the bollards’ spherical caps have been replaced with wooden ones.
