Dockyard boundary wall. 1824-31, by Sir John Rennie. Yellow stock brick with granite plinth and coping. Tall wall with a band of granite ashlar, above which shallow buttresses divide the wall into square panels. Extends approximately 500 metres SE from Nos 1 and 2 Main Gate to the N of the former Dockyard Church (qqv), from where a section ramps down to extend to meet the retaining wall in front of the Church. The main wall runs E of the Dockyard House garden (qv), where it contains a segmental- arched doorway leading from Church Road for officers going to church. The wall along the S side of the yard extends from the Wend of Naval Terrace (qv), and extends W for approx. 300m before turning S for approx. 170m; in the corner ramps lead up to an entrance.
This section of wall facing High Street has square lamps on cast-iron brackets attached at intervals. HISTORY: built by Rennie to enclose his complete rebuilding of the Sheerness yard in the 18205. Of historic interest, and part of a good group with the officers' accommodation, church and offices (qqv) in the little-altered SE corner of the yard.
