This Grade II listed red brick wall, 3 metres in height, indicates the size of the kitchen gardens at Charlton Park Estate. Capability Brown, who was at Charlton in 1768, proposed alterations to the house which were not accepted, and drew sketches for water near the house and for a kitchen garden and offices. The walled kitchen gardens at the west edge of the park in 1773 were probably by Brown. The kitchen garden was a flower garden in the earlier 20th century. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=116140 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-315647-garden-flat-and-former-kitchen-garden-wa
