Crinkle-crankle wall
This mid 18th century red-brick crinkle-crankle wall surrounds > TG2423 : Burgh House and forms the southern boundary of St Andrew's > Link churchyard. Crinkle-crankle walls were designed for growing fruit; their curving lines gave added strength, thus doing away with the need for buttressing. Other names for these constructions are serpentine or ribbon wall.
