Account for the building of the wall round Dunham Park. The wall was built in sections between 1748 and 1751, and the account records the length of each section (total: 5090.46 yds).
The cost per yard length of wall is calculated, including foundations and coping stones (9s 6d per yard), producing a total cost of £2,425 7s. This may be a theoretical or tendered cost, as the [?actual] cost is also analysed thus:
Brickmaking £1,035 17s 3d ha.
Bricklayers £562 14s 5d
Masons £793 13s 8d ha.
Lime £316 5s 7d
Iron rails £47 1s 8d
Gates and stiles £80 10s 0d
Labourers £201 0s 11d
Total: £3,037 3s 7d
